Abstract
<p>Conservation engineering is a relatively new and exciting field. Engineers are still educated today mainly oriented to new construction, but the modern understanding is to preserve the heritage and to plan the appropriate interventions on historic structures. Finding the potential for future use of heritage buildings is an act of sustainable development. Extending their service life leads to an appreciation of the art of structural engineering. The paper aims to present the basic concepts of the contemporary methodology for conservation of historical buildings/structures, how to understand the behavior of the structure through some basic details, how to proceed in case of modern adaptation for the contemporary conditions and how to make better appraisal of its potential for the future. Examples of analysis of structural systems and details and the possibilities for restoration and reinforcement of historical structures for vertical and seismic actions are considered.</p>
