Engineers should select proper material and and technique for the rehabilitation of the particular monument. It is very important that properties of the old materials and new materials should match each other. In this literature,some special techniques for rehabilitation of monumental buildings are discussed. Techniques like injection of use of different chemicals is attempted.Timber and its preservation with different chemical is also attempted.
