Engineering and Technical Survey of Cultural Heritage Object in the Project for Its Restoration and Adaptation for Modern Use
Main Article Content
Abstract
The paper presents the results of an engineering and technical survey of building structures in a project to restore and adapt a cultural heritage site for modern use. The aim of this study is to develop and implement an integrated methodology for diagnosing the technical condition of building structures, taking into account the specific nature of cultural heritage sites, as well as to justify reinforcement and restoration measures aimed at extending the resource potential and adapting the site to its modern functional purpose. The initial permitting documentation for the surveyed site was studied and a survey programme was developed during the survey. The building space-planning solutions were established, the building's load-bearing elements design was determined. The building's structure measurements were taken, floor plans, facades, and characteristic sections were drawn up. A detailed inspection of the building's load-bearing structures was conducted, identifying their design features. Photographic recording was completed. The technical condition of the building's load-bearing and enclosing structures was determined. A technical report was prepared based on the survey results. Visual and visual-instrumental methods were used during the survey. Structural defects were visually identified, including cracks, deformations, load-bearing elements displacement relative to design positions, and others. Visual and instrumental methods were used to refine the geometric dimensions, and the actual physical and mechanical properties were examined. The building's technical condition was determined, and conclusions regarding its future operation were formulated based on the comprehensive engineering and technical survey results, in-place and laboratory tests, verification calculations, and an archival materials study. Verification calculations were performed for the building's metal roof truss, vertical displacements and N forces in the truss were determined, and designated cross-sections were checked for the first and second limit states, as well as for local truss stability. A seismoacoustic pile survey was also conducted to determine the pile depth. Furthermore, as the technical survey part of the cultural heritage site, a mycological test of the wooden dome roof structure was performed to detect infestation by biodegradable fungi (biological damage), and the possible causes of the infestation were determined. Specimens from the wooden supporting roof structures were examined using cultural and morphological methods.
