Well-illustrated introduction to building pathology, bridging the gap between building surveying and the detailed understanding of building defects, their prognosis and remediation
Building Pathology introduces the concept of building pathology and aims to give the reader a greater awareness and understanding of buildings and their users, to assist in defect diagnosis and the design and implementation of specific and appropriate remedial measures. By focusing on the process, rather than specific solutions, the book helps the reader to use the information in their practice in a wide variety of situations.
The new third edition features new case studies which have been integrated into the text. Written by a highly qualified author with significant experience in the field, the third edition of Building Pathology contains information on:
- Building performance, covering environmental factors, user requirements, building structures and materials
- Defects, damage, and decay, covering atmospheric and climatic action, excess moisture, chemical, physical, and biological action, movement, fire and human factors
- Survey and assessment, covering building inspections and surveys, how to prioritize defects, unoccupied buildings and sites, and redundant and ruined buildings
- Remediation in practice, covering real-world examples
With comprehensive coverage of the subject, Building Pathology is an essential learning resource for students of building surveying, as well as professional architects, building surveyors, property managers and those working in heritage disciplines.
