Structural Rehabilitation of Historical Masonry Buildings
The rehabilitation of heritage buildings represents a challenge from two perspectives: from architectural point of view, which involves the conservation, repair and/or replacement of damaged elements and from structural point of view by adopting solutions to increase its bearing capacity with minimum intervention on structure.
Masonry is one of the oldest, traditional construction materials, used for religious and civil architecture in the world. Beside numerous advantages, masonry has some disadvantages on long term, which may lead to severe damage and even unfavorable failure mechanisms. Given the high number of historical masonry buildings, the article makes a review of the specific problems for these types of structures and presents some specific methods of intervention.
The article also presents a case study, in which a heritage building is analyzed. The monument is located in the Moldavia region from Romania. Its main damages and the proposed rehabilitation methods are shown, in order to ensure the structural safety increase, and to obtain a target structural safety level for the structure.
