Article Preview

Abstract:

Connection of new steel rods to original iron tongs in historic buildings is largely carried out by screwing. This solution requires drilling holes into the original iron element. Another solution - special welding - is also irreversible intervention into the original historic material. Clamp joints as a non-invasive solution were used to connect new steel rods to iron tongs originated from the late 17th Century in Teplá Monastery, Czech Republic.
