Book review: Appraisal and Repair of Timber Structures (2nd ed.)

The conference provides structural engineers with the latest practical tools and guidance for reuse, repurpose and refurbishment projects, enabling the transformation of existing structures and structural materials.

This article discusses how strengthening an existing building can enable changes of use, achieve compliance with modern building codes, resist a previously unforeseen environmental load or increase resilience. It gives a broad description of some common strengthening options, as well as guidance on where to find more information.

Exploring concrete buildings from 1950-1985, this series provides insights on reuse project challenges, cost-effective surveys and investigations, corrosion and fire management, historical building modelling, and the sustainable application of carbon fibre reinforced polymers for their strengthening
