Features: The main content of this book elaborates on the basic theories and practical methods of building structure strengthening design. The book consists of five chapters. Chapter 1 introduces the significance of building structure strengthening, the procedures of strengthening work, and the principles of strengthening design. Chapter 2 introduces the testing methods of building structures and the evaluation methods of building reliability. Chapters 3, 4, and 5 respectively introduce the strengthening design methods and construction key points of concrete structures, masonry structures, and timber structures, along with several examples of strengthening design for different types of structures. This book can be used as a self-study textbook for continuing education in civil engineering majors, and it can also be referenced by technical personnel engaged in building structure design, construction, and research.
