Archaeology Of Buildings

R K Morriss

The first need in understanding any building is to understand the fabric - the materials and the way they are used in the construction. So individual sections are devoted to stone, brick, and timber-framing, plus shorter sections on other materials such as thatch, iron, clay and glass. The various clues left by the builders, in carpenters' or masons' marks for example, and the way alterations can be identified, are highlighted

Houses & Cottages of Britain (PB)

R W Brunskill

Houses and Cottages is based on Professor Brunskill's considerable research work and on archaeological and documentary discoveries. It looks inside the buildings and shows how and why they were originally planned and how they have evolved, often from very simple structures. In the process, a great amount of fascinating information is revealed about the lifestyles of the people for whom the houses were built, both in terms of their work and of their social lives. In addition there are detailed chapters on materials and methods of construction and on rooms and their uses, all of which provide further insights into why structures as we see them now evolved in the way they did from the original plans.

Survey & Repair Of Traditional Buildings

R Oxley

Approximately a quarter of all buildings in the UK are of a traditional construction, in simplistic terms these are buildings constructed with solid rather than cavity walls. Irrespective of the fundamental difference in the manner of construction, and therefore performance, many traditional buildings are approached and treated in the same way as modern buildings that have been constructed, and that perform, in a significantly different way. This title reflects the author's concerns regarding the condition of traditional buildings and how works instigated by the survey process are contributing to the unnecessary loss and accelerated deterioration of what is a valuable and irreplaceable resource.

Brickwork: History, Technology and Practice: Vol. 1

Gerard Lynch

This series of books offers an in depth guide to all aspects of brickwork and bricklaying practice. Gerard Lynch, author of the guide to "Gauged Brickwork", has put together these comprehensive and instructive volumes, linking past knowledge and practices with modern skills and materials, so that both can be fully examined and understood. At a time when the conservation and restoration of old buildings demand a more sympathetic handling, such a work should be a useful addition to the existing literature, and an essential source of reference for all those involved in the construction and repair of brick buildings. This volume begins with a background to the historical development of the brick, the craft of bricklaying and of brickwork from the 13th century to the present day. It then goes on to describe the modern manufacture of bricks along with their properties and classification. The book also includes chapters on mortars, tools and accessories along with an explanation of bricklaying skills, and comprehensive coverage of the techniques of bonding and its applications.

Building in Cob, Pise and Stabilized Earth

C Williams-Ellis

This study, first published in 1919 then substantially revised in 1947, was based on experiments undertaken by the author into the use of pise de terre and other earth-based materials. It was written at a time when traditional building resources such as brick and timber were in short supply, and there was a need to consider the potential for using alternative materials in construction. Whilst earth building has not developed significantly in the UK, the sustainable architecture movement has helped to stimulate an interest in constructing new earthen buildings. This, coupled with an increasing awareness of the importance of conserving and maintaining our existing stock of earth structures, allows this book to serve as both a historical document and a source of advice and guidance.

Structural Appraisal Of Traditional Buildings

Patrick Robinson 

This book promotes efficient structural appraisal which depends on identifying the causes of damage. This requires not only a knowledge of building materials and their defects but also a reliable method for gathering and weighing evidence of damage. It is a visual skill, and 100 diagrams are used to illustrate typical details, damage patterns and interpretation. The book describes the main causes of damage from ground movement to delay and various investigating techniques. Visual inspection alone can solve simple cases, but the techniques are more powerful when used in combination so that the evidence can be judged from more than one viewpoint, eliminating bias and ambiguity. Appraisal sometimes benefits from a period of monitoring, and methods for measuring movement and damage progression are described, some thought is also given to investigating, and where possible predicting sudden and severe damage. Investigators are liable for what they say, and there is some advice on managing this liability.
