5. Conclusion

The second part of this article on rehabilitation with steel takes a look at the use of steel in complex rehabilitation projects, such as elevations, extensions and facade work involving the retention of historic walls only. The techniques and examples presented demonstrate the relevance of steel construction for these types of projects.

The article also deals with the adaptation of buildings to new constraints, such as changing their use and improving their fire resistance or acoustic performance, for example...
