Structural Balance of Historical Aggregates
Abstract Historical urban centers present valuable buildings with different structural types and different ages or stiles, in total structural disorder. Those buildings present different structural problems as cracks and local damages. But they usually work together, as aggregates, transmitting the forces from one building to another. The way they interact is very difficult to be evaluated or calculated, but form a static balance of the aggregate, both for buildings with severe damages and buildings with high structural behavior. That is the reason why any consolidation or demolition work should be made taking into consideration this static balance. This article presents in which manner the historical buildings located on St. George square, Timisoara, Romania interacted as aggregate during centuries and how this interaction influenced the structural and architectural final design solution. Also, the damage that was discovered on the neighborhood buildings during the intervention, generated changes to the initial project, in order to respect the natural behavior of the historical aggregate.
