Masonry Walls Analysis from Shish Mahal in Lahore - Pakistan

Masonry walls of Shish Mahal, a historic Mughal monument within Lahore Fort, Pakistan, exhibit significant deterioration due to dampness, erosion, and mortar degradation. The study identifies these factors as primary contributors to structural distress, threatening the integrity of the 17th-century structure. Using a combination of material analysis and environmental assessment, researchers propose remedial solutions aimed at preserving the architectural heritage. This work highlights the urgent need for targeted conservation strategies to mitigate weather-induced decay in similar historic masonry structures.
