Stone Decay Zusammenfassung

Stone Decay: Its Causes and Controls B.J. Smith

This volume offers valuable insights into the nature of decay processes and the factors that control them. It presents several studies on the impact of pollution on stonework in urban environments. Important methodological contributions cover: the mapping of facades to explain rates of decay associated with conservation actions; the laboratory simulation of corrosion in polluted atmospheres; the quantification of colour change through a study of the artificial ageing of building stone. The effectiveness of stone treatments within the laboratory is also considered.

Stone Decay Bewertungen

The text covers the results of decay on building stones and in the context of buildings following the implementation of cleaning and conservation strategies. This is of obvious importance in developing future strategies. While in no doubt of interest to geomorphologists, geologists and materials scientists, this publication aids the promotion of the important link between researcher and practitioner. Building Conservation Journal It is hoped that this work might provide the reader with a number of views relating to the nature of weathering and decay process, and the factors controlling them; hopefully , enabling the conservator/surveyor to identify and consider appropriate conservation programmes and policies. Building Engineer ... a collection of methodical, carefully written papers, dealing with a variety of subjects within the area of stone decay. Firstly, this volume is a serious contribution to relevant questions concerning the problem of stone decay; and secondly, the material contained within the papers is not easy for the scientific layman to assimilate.
