Full Description
This book explores how they stand, why they endure, and when they fail. It explains the mechanics behind arches, vaults, domes, and walls through clear structural principles, real-world case studies, and visual tools. Topics such as earthquakes and long-term degradation are addressed using both traditional and modern methods.Written for engineers, architects, conservation professionals, and students, the book bridges past and present by connecting historic construction techniques with today's analytical approaches. It introduces key concepts—including thrust line theory and the no-tension model—while offering practical strategies for evaluating safety and stability.With examples drawn from different historical periods and regions, the book promotes a deeper understanding of masonry heritage and provides a solid foundation for responsible conservation. Its accessible style and global perspective make it a valuable resource for those engaged in architectural history, structural analysis, and heritage preservation.
