Adjustable Measures for the Safeguard of Monuments
The widespread obsessive furore of safeguarding urgently relicts of every kind at any cost with classical engineering methods is moderated nowadays by softer criteria founded on the accurate selection of those actual values worth to be safeguarded. This more reasonable attitude is expressed by the full respect of the monument, the temporary preservation of its functions, the wait for the best time of proceeding, the warrant of safety in the present status, the attenuation of external actions, the compensation of displacements, the monitoring of performance, or in extreme cases the abandonment . With reference to the frequent affairs affected by prevailing uncertainties, the role of adjustable versus rigid measures is critically discussed. Case histories supporting evidence of the benefits of robustness, i.e. design flexibility to permit compliance with a wide range of potential mutations in current uncertain situations, are offered to the reader with recourse to selected examples from literature and personal experience. A vote for better and systematic consideration of the modern versions of an observational strategy in the complex situations prevailing within this special branch of the Civil Engineering and Architecture professions is proposed.
