Several Comments on Bearing Capacities of Selected Parts of Enclosure Walls from the Broumov Region

Abstract:

The Broumov group of churches was designed for the governing Benedictine abbey of St. Wenceslaw in Broumov by the famous Dientzenhofer family of architects, which helped define the Bohemian baroque style in the early 18th century. The paper shows numerical estimation of the bearing capacity. For the analysis were chosen the parts of enclosure walls from the selected Broumov Churches. The study summarizes the visual investigation and structural investigation using ATENA 2D software, to assess and verify the safety of the church walls regarding to the damages which currently suffers.
