International Journal of Architectural Heritage

International Journal of Architectural Heritage provides a multidisciplinary scientific overview of existing resources and modern technologies useful for the study and repair of historical buildings and other structures. The journal will include information on history, methodology, materials, survey, inspection, non-destructive testing, analysis, diagnosis, remedial measures, and strengthening techniques.Preservation of the architectural heritage is considered a fundamental issue in the life of modern societies. In addition to their historical interest, cultural heritage buildings are valuable because they contribute significantly to the economy by providing key attractions in a context where tourism and leisure are major industries in the 3rd millennium. The need of preserving historical constructions is thus not only a cultural requirement, but also an economical and developmental demand.The study of historical buildings and other structures must be undertaken from an approach based on the use of modern technologies and science. The final aim must be to select and adequately manage the possible technical means needed to attain the required understanding of the morphology and the structural behavior of the construction and to characterize its repair needs. Modern requirements for an intervention include reversibility, unobtrusiveness, minimum repair, and respect of the original construction, as well as the obvious functional and structural requirements. Restoration operations complying with these principles require a scientific, multidisciplinary approach that comprehends historical understanding, modern non-destructive inspection techniques, and advanced experimental and computer methods of analysis.Therefore, International Journal of Architectural Heritage covers the main aspects related to the study and repair of existing buildings, including:Issues on the history of construction and architectural technologyGeneral criteria and methodology for study and interventionHistorical and traditional building techniquesSurvey techniquesNon-destructive testing, inspection, and monitoringExperimental results and laboratory testingAnalytical and numerical approachesInnovative and traditional materials for repair and restorationInnovative strategies and techniques for repair and restorationGeneral remedial measuresRepair and strengthening of structuresSeismic behavior and retrofittingDetailed and state-of-the-art case studies, including truly novel developmentsThe main objective is to provide an overview of existing resources useful for the rigorous and scientifically based study of the state of ancient structures and to present state-of-the-art novel research in the field. The journal will publish review papers, research papers, and detailed case studies. Interdisciplinary contributions will be highly appreciated. All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial evaluation by the Editors and, if found suitable for further consideration, to peer review by independent, anonymous expert reviewers. All peer review is single blind. Submissions are made online via ScholarOne Manuscripts.

《国际建筑遗产杂志》提供了对现有资源和现代技术的多学科科学概述，这些资源和技术可用于研究和修复历史建筑和其他结构。该期刊将包括有关历史、方法、材料、调查、检查、无损检测、分析、诊断、补救措施和强化技术的信息。保护建筑遗产被认为是现代社会生活中的一个基本问题。除了它们的历史利益外，文化遗产建筑也很有价值，因为它们通过在旅游和休闲是第三个千年的主要产业的背景下提供关键景点，对经济作出了巨大贡献。因此，保护历史建筑的需要不仅是一种文化要求，也是一种经济和发展的需要。对历史建筑和其他结构的研究必须从使用现代技术和科学的方法着手。最终目标必须是选择和充分管理可能的技术手段，以达到对结构形态和结构行为的必要理解，并描述其维修需求。现代对干预的要求包括可逆性、不显眼性、最小维修量、尊重原始建筑，以及明显的功能和结构要求。符合这些原则的修复操作需要一种科学、多学科的方法，该方法理解历史知识、现代无损检测技术以及先进的实验和计算机分析方法。因此，《国际建筑遗产杂志》涵盖了与现有建筑的研究和修复有关的主要方面，包括：建筑史与建筑技术问题研究和干预的一般标准和方法历史和传统建筑技术测量技术无损检测、检验和监测实验结果和实验室测试分析和数值方法用于修复和修复的创新和传统材料修复和修复的创新策略和技术一般补救措施结构的修复和加固抗震性能与加固详细和最先进的案例研究，包括真正新颖的发展主要目的是对现有资源进行综述，以便对古代结构的状态进行严谨和科学的研究，并在该领域呈现最新的研究成果。该杂志将发表评论论文、研究论文和详细的案例研究。我们将高度赞赏跨学科的贡献。所有提交的手稿都要经过编辑的初步评估，如果认为适合进一步考虑，还需要由独立的匿名专家评审员进行同行评审。所有同行评审都是单盲的。提交的文件通过网上学术一手稿。
