Abstract

From the mid 19th century, rapid changes in construction methods occurred and a number of new building materials were introduced. Many of these materials are perfectly suitable for contemporary buildings but have been found to be incompatible with the construction of old buildings. The aim of this information sheet is to examine these differences and draw conclusions about the way old buildings should be treated.
