The Weathering of Natural Building Stones
The problem of the weathering of natural building stones is of considerable practical interest both to the building industry and to the general public. The public is becoming deeply conscious of its responsibilities in respect to the protection of buildings and monuments of historical, archaeological or artistic value. This report gives a general account of the factors which cause the decay of building materials, and summarizes present views as to the best means to be taken to minimize the incidence of decay. Originally published in 1932, this book is still the most authoritative and comprehensive work in its field. It has been reprinted with minimal changes. A new Appendix II has been substituted and contains up-to-date information on the cleaning of external surfaces of buildings and colorless treatments for masonry which is based on recent BRS Digests.
