Structural Aspects of Building Conservation. (Paul
Beckmann and Robert Bowles)
Conservation is very essential to the history of man.
Conservation provides an understanding of how buildings, towns, roads, countryside, are manifested. It shows the traces of the struggles, ambitions, successes, and failures of our predecessors.
For a building to be safe and useable its structural parts must remain stationary, this requires that the forces acting on them are equal and opposite. (as shown on the plate below).
Structural performance is ascertained through the process known as structural appraisal.
It is aimed at how information is obtained, about the physical facts of the structure and is assessed so as to check the structural adequacy of the intended building.
MASONRY
This is the most durable traditional means of construction. Masonry is the form of construction that exhibits the greatest differences in the way it responds to imposed forces of different kinds (e.g. compression or tension).
ASSESSMENT OF STRENGTH
For every building or structure that is to be conserved it strength must be assessed through the following below;
Codes of Practice, Empirical Formulae and Local
Experience
Testing of Material Samples
Testing of Masonry Samples
In-situ Strength Testing
TIMBER
Timber is usually termed as the first building material
This is so because the cave man had contract with it first due to trees around him.
Timber is a material that is easy
