Geotechnical Engineering for the Preservation of Monuments and Historic Sites III: Invited papers

This  book contains the invited lectures presented at the 3th International  Symposium on Geotechnical Engineering for the Preservation of Monuments  and Historic Sites (IS NAPOLI 2022, Naples, Italy, 22-24 June 2022). It  collects the opening address, the third Kerisel Lecture, four keynote  lectures and eleven panel lectures, and provides a broad impression of  1. the current state of knowledge and 2. the techniques used worldwide  for the preservation of built heritage. When confronted with structures  relevant to local and global history, there is only one way to select  the best possible conservation solution: the multidisciplinary approach.  Therefore, the invited speakers have been selected with different  pertinent skills, to represent this complexity from the points of view  of geotechnical engineers, structural engineers, architects and  conservation experts.

The book will be useful to  researchers, practitioners, administrations and all those working or  interested in the preservation of built heritage.
