This book explores the preservation of the urban historical environment. More specifically, the topics explored include: improving methods for calculating building structures, strengthening them and assessing their suitability for use; improving construction technology; geotechnics; energy efficiency of enclosed structures and energy systems; the introduction of new structures and materials; and economic evaluation of construction. The book details the developments in geotechnical engineering of pile structures (including piles with multiple extensions) made possible by discharge-pulse technology. Particular attention is also paid to monitoring unique buildings and structures. Researchers of the Faculty of Civil Engineering of Chuvash State University, Russia, are currently implementing the findings of the present work at many famous sites in Russia.
