Failures on Historical Buildings as a Result of Deterioration of the Foundations and the Subsoil

Abstract:

Abstract: The paper is focused on a system of investigation of hidden parts of historical buildings as footing masonry and subsoil affecting significantly their technical conditions and stability. These impacts are mostly difficult to identify in time and there are often indirect producing differential settlement resulting in development of systems of cracks in the building masonry. Reliable analysis of the building supporting system shall precede any remedial actions or reconstructions. If the demonstration of the above negative impacts on the building becomes visible, it can indicate our late entry in to solving the problems with deterioration of the foundation system. Investigation boring and instrumentation of boreholes for high accuracy 3D displacement monitoring with local levelling system is presented in the paper illustrated by an example of one baroque church of the Broumov group of churches. This activity was followed by analyses of building stones and determination of degree of the footing masonry and subsoil deterioration together with careful input data for numeric modelling estimation.
