SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
"Eighteen peer-reviewed papers address the complex issues of design, construction, maintenance, evaluation, and repair of building exterior wall systems, both old and new. Topics cover: Survey and assessment techniques ; Establishing the integrity of cladding systems and components ; Case studies of system deterioration and remediation ; Serviceability issues ; Seismic retrofit ; Energy savings attributable to facade upgrades ; Re-cladding of existing buildings. System types addressed include facades comprised of vintage masonry, limestone, precast concrete panels, thin stone, exposed cast-in-place concrete, aluminum framing, EIFS, and glass and metal walls."--Publisher's website.
