Abstract
The paper concerns a church building, where as a result of mining exploitation a number of damages have been observed, including cracking of the nave. The method of repairing the damage was presented. Taking into consideration the further planned mining exploitation, a concept was put forward to reinforce the church with steel tie rods at the level of the vaults over the nave, which will provide for its protection against adverse impact of the tilt of the land surface.
Highlights
The sacral buildings constructed in the past, in the mining areas, are subjected to damage resulting from the impact of horizontal movements (ε) and radius of curvature (R) of the land surface [1,2,3]
The paper presents a case in which the main hazard to the church building structure was posed by the tilt of the land surface (T)
Presented are the construction activities undertaken to eliminate or at least reduce the impact of the land tilt on the church building
Summary
The sacral buildings constructed in the past, in the mining areas, are subjected to damage resulting from the impact of horizontal movements (ε) and radius of curvature (R) of the land surface [1,2,3]. This is implied most of all by the significant size of such buildings and the fact their structure is not suited to taking over additional forces resulting from these impacts. The paper presents a case in which the main hazard to the church building structure was posed by the tilt of the land surface (T). Presented are the construction activities undertaken to eliminate or at least reduce the impact of the land tilt on the church building
