Introduction and Rehabilitation: Aims & Scopes -- Construction Systems -- Building Materials and Components -- Laboratorial and In-field Tests -- Modeling -- Vulnerability Assessment -- Construction Maintenance.

The present book describes the different construction systems and structural materials and solutions within the main old buildings typologies, and it analyses the particularities of each of them, including mechanical properties, structural behaviour, typical damage patterns and collapse mechanisms. Common or pioneering intervention measures to repair and/or strengthen some of these structural elements are also reviewed.
