Proceedings of the 15 th Conference on the Rehabilitation and Reconstruction of Buildings, featuring international participation, within which new trends and procedures in the field of building rehabilitation were discussed at an international level. The papers are grouped as follows: Chapter 1: Protection and Restoration of Wood Structures; Chapter 2: Surface Treatment; Chapter 3: Restoration of Stone; Chapter 4: Restoration of Masonry; Chapter 5: Restoration of Concrete Structures; Chapter 6: Physical-Chemical Properties; Chapter 7: Statics and Dynamics of Structures; Chapter 8: Restoration of Half-Timber Structures. Participants from the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Ukraine, and Germany present 43 papers on protecting and restoring wood structures, surface treatment, restoring stone, restoring masonry, restoring concrete structures, physical-chemical properties, and the statics and dynamics of structures. Among the topics are modified plaster for restoration and finishing works, determining the load-bearing capacity of historic masonry structures, options for assessing the absorption capacity of a noise barrier, the bacterial deterioration of wooden pile foundations due to permanent soil and water contact, the degradation of laminated glass as a result of increased temperature, and using distributed fiber-optic temperature sensors during building redevelopment. - Built environment. - Construction. - Materials science.
