The Structural Analysis of Historical Constructions: An Interdisciplinary Approach (PDF) publication is an outcome of the 11th International Conference on Structural Analysis of Historical Constructions (SAHC). This conference, held in Cusco, Peru, in 2018, shares recent advancements in the structural analysis of historical and archaeological constructions. Several challenges in this field make it evident that interdisciplinary teams, including managers, practitioners, and scientists, must collaborate to achieve accurate and robust outcomes. SAHC 2018 aimed to initiate discussions on new developments in various disciplines within analysis, conservation, retrofitting, and management of existing constructions.
This ebook is organized into the following themes: history of construction and building technologies, assessment, and intervention of archaeological heritage, inspection and non-destructive testing (NDT) technologies, innovative techniques and tools, risk and vulnerability assessments of heritage for various threats, advancements in laboratory and field testing applied to historical buildings, strengthening, retrofitting, and repairing historical structures, numerical modeling and structural analysis, structural health monitoring, sustainability, and durability, management and conservation strategies for heritage structures, and interdisciplinary initiatives and case studies. This volume will interest individuals engaged in preserving existing constructions and uncovering new challenges in the area of structural analysis of historical and archaeological constructions.
