Rehabilitation of Historic Farmstead near Klecany

Abstract

Rehabilitation of a historic farmstead originated from 17-18th century is focused on the strengthening and preservation of structures including masonry vaults in existing agricultural buildings and underground corridor near Prague. For specification of the actual strength of masonry and also for the determination of material characteristics, the physically-chemical analysis of mortar was prepared. The estimation of actual masonry strength makes it easier to rebuilt two masonry vaults and also to strengthen existing historical corridor which leaded in the past to the ruins of castle. Principles of ISO 13822 for the assessment of existing structures and CSN 73 0038 is applied for the verification of the reliability level of historical masonry vaults which represent an important aspect of the culture of its period and could be considered to have some heritage value.
