| dc.description.abstract | The purpose of this research is to examine the mitigation and recovery methods of seismic and typhoon planning for retaining the historic structures of Guam. To understand the efficiency of the current preservation methods and to document successful approaches for future use in extending their useful life are goals of this study. The study includes background information on Guam's environment and the natural disasters that can critically alter or damage the structures. The end result will benefit the professionals practicing preservation in tropical locations whose aim is to promote continuous life of historic buildings by preventing damage to or, in some cases, restoring or rehabilitating these historic structures. | en |
