520 _aSets out to explain briefly what conservation is and what it means to properly implement it. It also describes the necessary tools to make sure it happens and details why conservation is the right approach. Looks at the technology of solid wall construction and different types of cracks, in terms of their identification, significance and possible treatment. Uses Cardiff Castle as a case study to describe the implications that cracks can have on the interiors of buildings. Intended to provide an overview of the issues largely from a practical perspective. References. [Taken from journal abstract].
