Abstract

This paper discusses the investigations, analysis, and proposed strengthening to Sheds E-F and J-M of the Queen Victoria Market in Melbourne, Australia. The sheds were visually inspected and measured, a point cloud survey was carried out, wind tunnel testing determined design pressures, and timber samples determined species, grade and extent of deterioration. Strengthening designs were in accordance with the Burra Charter – The Australia ICOMOS Charter for Places of Cultural Significance 2013.
