Application Research of Modern Technologies on Ancient Building Conservation

Abstract

Ancient buildings are cultural heritage entities with considerable uniqueness and irreplaceability. The existed ancient buildings are also important sources for secondary art creation in modern times. However, with the development of urban underground transportation and the occurrence of some disasters, the preservation of existing ancient buildings has become a problem. This paper focuses on several modern techniques, i.e., the initial modeling of ancient buildings, the later repair of ancient buildings, and the GFRP laminated rubber bearing technology used in the process. The knowledge obtained and analyzed from existing studies are presented to demonstrate why new technologies such as 3D laser scanning technology and GFRP laminated rubber bearings can be used for the conservation of ancient buildings. The research results can be used for better protecting of ancient buildings.
