Book Description
Earthen architecture constitutes one of the most diverse forms of cultural heritage and one of the most challenging to preserve. It dates from all periods and is found on all continents but is particularly prevalent in Africa, where it has been a building tradition for centuries. Sites range from ancestral cities in Mali to the palaces of Abomey in Benin, from monuments and mosques in Iran and Buddhist temples on the Silk Road to Spanish missions in California. This volume's sixty-four papers address such themes as earthen architecture in Mali, the conservation of living sites, local knowledge systems and intangible aspects, seismic and other natural forces, the conservation and management of archaeological sites, research advances, and training.

Book Description
Ramming earth has been a method of construction for centuries in many parts of the world and the technique can produce buildings that are strong, durable, safe and desirable. Because earth is an abundant and cheap resource, rammed earth buildings are often very economical. To achieve the best results the right techniques for the selection and testing of soils must be used to protect walls from water damage and shrinkage. This book aims to show how high standards can be achieved and the criteria on which rammed earth structures and building techniques can be judged. Since the fi rst edition of this book was published, the standards described in Rammed Earth Structures has been adopted as a Building Standard in Zimbabwe. Further progress is being made extending the use of rammed earth as an officially sanctioned building material across all SADC countries. This book is now therefore becoming an important guide and resource for those wishing to employ this economical and low-carbon building material in the construction of public as well as private buildings in Africa and elsewhere.

Book Description
Le béton armé est un matériau hétérogène, puisque constitué de béton et d’armatures en acier. Inerte, il évolue dans le temps, subissant des changements constants : dilatations, fissures, ruptures, etc. Cet ouvrage permet de diagnostiquer les dégradations, désordres et pathologies éventuelles, et de mettre en oeuvre un entretien ou une réparation adapté. Ainsi, au moyen de fiches pratiques richement illustrées, cet ouvrage : – explique la notion de durabilité d’un ouvrage, puis liste les désordres courants des constructions (bullage, écaillage, ségrégation, fissures, etc.) ; – détaille les mécanismes de dégradations chimiques (carbonatation, attaques par les chlorures, les sulfates ou les acides, corrosion de l’acier, etc.) et leurs conséquences ; – présente les classes d’exposition d’attaques chimiques (XA, XC, XD, etc.) ; – décrit les dégradations mécaniques et physiques, constituées en majorité des surcharges, sols gonflants et du phénomène de gel/dégel ; – expose les dégradations dues au défaut de conception, d’exécution ou d’exploitation ; – développe la méthodologie et les principales étapes d’un diagnostic, puis analyse les méthodes non destructives utilisées pour le contrôle des fissures, par exemple, ou partiellement destructives, comme le carottage ; – fournit les techniques de réparation (liants et résines en surface, béton coulé ou projeté, traitement des fissures) et de renforcement des poteaux, poutres, dalles et fondations par des plaques, du béton rapporté ou des fibres synthétiques. En début d’ouvrage, un sommaire graphique renvoyant aux fiches pratiques permet d’identifier visuellement les désordres et dégradations, et ainsi de déterminer les essais, réparations et renforcements à effectuer selon les situations. Cet ouvrage s’adresse aux techniciens et ingénieurs spécialisés, aux enseignants, formateurs, et étudiants. Il accompagnera dans l’accomplissement de leurs missions les chargés d’étude, de la surveillance, de l’entretien et de la réparation des ouvrages en béton ainsi que les ingénieurs et techniciens de laboratoires ou des entreprises de construction. Cette 2e édition met à jour certaines normes et références techniques et intègre de nouveaux développements concernant la technique radar, qui permet d’identifier les hétérogénéités à l’intérieur des structures, mais aussi la mesure de la résistivité du béton, utile dans de nombreux domaines. Enfin, un nouveau chapitre aborde trois exemples d’expertise (bâtiment public ancien, bâtiment fissuré et réservoir fissuré), avec pour chaque projet le résumé du diagnostic mené et les conclusions des experts.
