Systems with a poly-structural organism are in turn characterized by this, that they are made of elements made of materials with different physical and chemical characteristics, or of homogeneous materials, but the load cells do not form a unified organism. You have to belong to this group …

Entrance to the building on the lower level of the ground floor – entrance landing connected to the door by a steel lattice platform.

When designing the entrance to the building, special attention should be paid to the solution of connecting the door sill with the entrance platform.

The threshold of the door is exposed during heavy rainfall …

When it comes to temporary or temporary protection of load-bearing structures, so walls, vault, ceilings, arcades and others, then in each case the method of securing should be based on the results of the diagnosis of the technical condition and the static-strength analysis.

Old walls and brick structures, like walls, …

In cohesive soils, the foundation lava for small buildings can be poured directly in the excavation, which allows you to avoid time-consuming formwork. Foundation footings are made under all construction walls. Between the benches, a coarse sand ballast is made and covered with fleece.

Above the footings …

The static-strength analysis is an extremely important and important part of the research. It should provide data on the behavior of the building, as well as its individual structural elements and materials, under the action of constant and service load and reveal the type and extent of deformation. By comparison …

Investigation of the water conditions is necessary in all these cases, when the stability and durability of a historic object depends on the influence of hydrological phenomena prevailing in a given area.

Research into water conditions usually comes down to:
a) carrying out observations of the state of subcutaneous and groundwater …

Cracks in part of the wall (e.g. pillars, columns) vertical course in most cases can be caused by the breaking load, which crushes and splits its cross-section. Vertical lines across the entire height of the building or a significant portion thereof may be caused by separation from …

The construction inventory of a monument is a very important activity in research. Its preparation is especially important in these cases, when we do not have exhaustive data on the nature of the structural organism existing in the monument or when the available construction drawings raise doubts …

Man has a great influence on changes and distortions of historic buildings. From his actions, conscious or unaware of the value of the monument, original proportions are violated, harmony and beauty of the decor, as well as the logic and purposefulness of the structural system.

Many historic buildings, especially the laity, succumbed …

Fires are dangerous in the aftermath. Temperatures created by fire, even short-lived, they have a destructive effect on mortars and many natural stones, especially on limestone, dolomite, granite and sandstones. Because mineral materials are characterized by different resistance and fire resistance, under the action of fire …
