Materials, Technologies and Practice in Historic Heritage Structures
One distinct feature of human society since the dawn of civilization is the systematic use of inorganic building materials, such as natural stone, unburnt and burnt soil, adobe and brick, inorganic binders like lime and cement, and reinforced concrete. Ou

Preface
This book aims to strengthen the knowledge base dealing with materials in historic structures, their properties, technology of use and conservation, and their performance in transforming the environment. Many of the papers in this volume were presented during the European Geosciences Union General Assembly (sessions: GMPV10 “Challenges to historical materials in urban/anthropic environments”, and ERE10 “Natural stone resources for historical monuments”) held in Vienna, Austria (2006, 2007 and 2008). In addition to these a number of invited contributions have been chosen to fill gaps in the coverage of the meetings’ original aims. The book consists of 17 chapters dealing with inorganic construction materials used in historic structures such as adobe, stone, brick, binders, concrete and plasters. The aims of the editors were to select contributions describing various materials and not to restrict th
