State of the Art Techniques for Monitoring and Protecting Historic
Structures
<http://www.apti.org/confs/historic_structures/apt_monitoring_protecting.pdf>


Saturday, March 27, 2004. Columbia University, New York, NY (8:30 am –
5:00 pm).

This one-day symposium will focus on technologies developed in other
fields that could have significant uses in historic preservation and
architectural conservation. Interested participants will include
architects, engineers, architectural conservators as well as owners and
managers of historic buildings. Attendees will see and hear
presentations on instrumentation for purposes of monitoring
deterioration and structural integrity of buildings and monuments.
Participants are eligible for 6 AIA Learning Units.

Continuous monitoring of historic structures through the use of
instrumentation has become increasingly common and is a useful method of
assessing building damage, the efficacy of repairs, establishing cause
and effect on surrounding buildings during construction, and for the
validation of computer models.

Cathodic protection is a cutting edge corrosion prevention technique
proven after years of use in the shipbuilding, highway infrastructure
and petrochemical industries. The large stock of early iron and steel
framed buildings in both the United States and the United Kingdom has
driven research into this corrosion protection system.
