The successful preservation of an historic building, complex or city depends on its daily
care and how it is used. The possibility of a building’s continued use depends on the
adaptation of the building to modern standards.

Conservation engineering is the process of understanding, interpreting, and managing the
architectural heritage of a structure so as to safely deliver it to posterity, enhancing
private or public utility with minimum loss of fabric and significance. Often these two
objectives stand in conflict of each other. Based on the 6th Conference on Structural
Analysis of Historical Constructions, scheduled for the UK in 2008, this work compiles the
very latest findings on the subject. It covers many areas receiving new and renewed
interest, including concepts of safety, as well as the use of emerging technologies, and
the integration of multiple professions in achieving success.
