Traditional Timber Structures in Extreme Weather Conditions
In addition to seismic events, climate changes—which are reflected in extreme events such as heat and cold waves, storms, floods, landslides, mud-slides and avalanches—can cause irreversible damage to cultural heritage. Although predicting the occurrence of natural and human disasters and their perimeter is not trivial, the increasing impact of extreme events requires critical evaluation of prevention strategies, immediate response and rehabilitation measures. This work aims to discuss the general characteristic features of natural disasters and their impact on cultural heritage focusing on damage to vernacular timber structures in (summer) storms. The study is based on the analysis of damage identified in summer storms in Slovenia in 2008. Possible mitigation and repair strategies are furthermore discussed.
