Since its publication in 1982 Sir Bernard Feilden's Conservation of Historic Buildings has become the standard text for architects and others involved in the conservation of historic structures. Leading practitioners around the world have praised the book as being the most significant single volume on the subject to be published. This third edition revises and updates a classic book, including completely new sections on conservation of Modern Movement buildings and non-destructive investigation.
The result of the lifetime's experience of one of the world's leading architectural conservators, the book comprehensively surveys the fundamental principles of conservation in their application to historic buildings, and provides the basic information needed by architects, engineers and surveyors for the solution of problems of architectural conservation in almost every climatic region of the world. This edition is organized into three complementary parts: in the first the structure of buildings is dealt with in detail; the second focuses attention on the causes of decay and the materials they affect; and the third considers the practical role of the architect involved in conservation and rehabilitation. As well as being essential reading for architects and others concerned with conservation, many lay people with various kinds of responsibility for historic buildings will find this clearly written, jargon-free work a fruitful source of guidance and information.

Following on from the great success of Great Houses of England and Wales (Rizzoli), this concise edition of the original work brings together a selection of the finest houses into a completely redesigned, handy format that will enable it to be used as an affordable companion for those wishing to visit these magnificent houses.
As with the larger volume, the book is filled with charming anecdotes that describe the history of each house, both its architecture and its families, giving a real sense of the life it embodies. These are matched by stunning photographs that illustrate all aspects of the houses. They include some of the most splendid examples of English art and architecture, from awe-inspiring medieval stone to the beauties of the English Renaissance, the classical grandeur of the eighteenth century and the highest excesses of Victorian taste. The book concludes with a list of contact details and opening times for the houses that will assist those wishing to visit them.

Underground Box Structure as a Foundation for Shear Walls in Seismic Resistant Buildings
This kind of foundation can be an alternative solution for direct foundations.It solves the problem where oversized ordinary raft foundations are needed. In fact, the box foundation gathers the gravity loads resting on the peripheral walls, so that the global soil reaction reduces its eccentricity. In most cases the elements constituting the box structure,such as peripheral walls, raft, and ground floors, are already part of any actual building; they only need a proper seismic design, which is herein proposed. A simplified theoretical approach is presented to allow a correct proportioning and design of each structural element, such as reinforcing ribs and panels constituting the box.
Amendment:
Boxing structure must not have a expansion or seismic joint , Please read together with Article Interaction-Based Design Formulas for Transfer Beams:Box Foundation analogy.

Elastic coefficients of anisotropic foundation beds
Author: N. S. Shvets, P. N. Nazha | Size: 0.343 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Original preprint | Publisher: Soil Mechanics and Foundation Engineering, Volume 37, Number 2 | Year: 2000 | pages: 2–6 | ISSN: 1573-9279
The influence exerted by anisotropy of the deformation properties of soil foundation beds on the elastic characteristics used in dynamic analyses of machine-bearing foundations is investigated. A model of an anisotropic foundation bed in the form of a transversally isotropic elastic half space is used to estimate the extent of this influence. It is suggested that correction factors dependent on the degree of anisotropy of the soil be used in the analyses.
