Abstract
Because of the gravitation of population toward large cities, a number of masonry buildings have been constructed since 1960. They have been rapidly deteriorated as time passed by. Therefore the purpose of this paper is to present basic data on timeworn masonry buildings which have been managed by metropolitan government and to analyse their deterioration factors. And then, the results of this paper can be used to establish the policy of managing timeworn masonry buildings. According to this study, the crack of masonry wall is the most effective deterioration factor and timeworn masonry buildings have a problem with foundation. The structure grade have an interrelation with occupancy type more than building age. Also, the longer building age becomes, the sooner deterioration speeds. A timeworn masonry building is in urgent need of reinforcement on a thirty-year period of building age.
