Sinossi
A practical guide to inspecting and reinforcing foundations, footings, and load-bearing members.
This handbook helps builders, surveyors, and designers understand common problems in buildings and how to prevent them. It covers foundations, footings, timber and stone elements, lintels, chimneys, spires, and the effects of soils and wind on structural safety.
Written as a field-ready reference, it connects real-world observations with tested methods. You’ll find guidance on assessing soil bearing, choosing safe footing widths, and using concrete, stone, and timber in ways that improve stability. The text also explains how to repair defective foundations, restore brickwork, and secure structures against movement or collapse.
- Practical steps for diagnosing foundation problems and deciding when to shore, underpin, or rebuild.
- Techniques for strengthening lintels, arches, and wall joints with concrete beds, iron ties, or reinforced materials.
- Approaches to shoring theory, timber shores, and safe work practices for temporary supports.
- How environmental factors like soil type, water side effects, and wind loads influence design and repairs.
Ideal for readers of building restoration, structural surveys, and construction—those who want clear, actionable methods for safer, longer-lasting structures.
