Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As a Guest Editor of the Special Issue “Historic Wood conservation”, I would like to invite you to contribute a paper that focuses on the most recent advancements in the different fields of historic wood conservation, such as:
- Knowledge of the properties of historic wood, and its use both structurally and decoratively;
- Theoretical and practical knowledge essential for diagnosing the causes of deterioration, and for selecting the most appropriate methods of conservation and restoration of wood;
- Condition survey and diagnostic methods for assessing heritage loadbearing wood structures with a view to establishing safe working loads or determining the need for strengthening or repair in order to ensure their continued use;
- The documentation and understanding of the history of a wood structure: loads, construction technology, and the period’s aesthetic details in order to be able to assess the historical significance of either the overall structure or of any of its components;
- A broader understanding of different aspects and approaches to wood conservation.
