Zusammenfassung:The structural integrity and load distribution schemes in historical buildings are mostly based on the experience of the original building master, and much less or not at all on building mechanical analysis. The combination of historical experience with today's analytical understanding of force distribution in structures enables solutions to adapt historical constructions to actual codes and standards. Examples of restoration and revitalization of masonry, concrete and timber structures are given to clarify such procedure.
