Abstract

This paper discusses adaptations and alterations in existing buildings, extension and construction of additional floors, and repair of housing development in Malta. These issues become particularly relevant in the case of Malta as an Island State, in view of the limited availability of land for the construction of new residential buildings, and resources. The structural alterations and improvements carried out in existing buildings, and the construction of additional floors are presented with direct reference to typical load bearing masonry structures.
