AbstractOver time, historic buildings are exposed to various destructive mechanisms brought about by a wide range of damaging factors. Costs and methods of reinforcing their individual components are, among others, an important issue. The term "reinforcement" is linked with the concept of conservation, which stands for the actions taken with the aim of preserving a building. It provides a well-articulated system consisting of activities that lead to the reinforcement of the structure, usability enhancement or to the improvement of its carrying capacity. This article analyses the selection of an appropriate brick pillar reinforcement method, taking into account accepted evaluation criteria.

The paper presents selected problems in the selection of the state of the art modern civil engineering solutions for drying moisture or wet, in particular parts of the underground structures of the brick historic buildings. The repair works of the immobile cultural heritage civil engineering objects require the appropriate choice of the design solution. These should be achieved by obtaining the assumed effects in the form of the effectiveness of repairs regarding all possible measures of protection of the cultural heritage buildings. Another key issue of the analysis of the causes of moisture formation in underground masonry structures is the necessity of consideration of the historic character of these buildings. Based on authors' extensive experience and expert knowledge, a range of diagnostics process as well as the assessment of the causes of the moisture problems of historic buildings for several selected cases was proposed. Moisture is transferred from the outside of the building to the basement interior by four mechanisms liquid water flow, capillary suction, vapor diffusion and air movement. The variety of the different mechanisms of moisture transfer, especially regarding buildings of cultural heritage implies that the selection of the most suitable system solution for solving moisture problem is the most crucial and a key issue in a specific case.

Repairs of historic buildings require the selection of such the design solutions to achieve the intended effects while ensuring the effectiveness of these repairs. This is particularly important in case of the structural failures of these facilities. Most of the conservation recommendations for renovations of cultural heritage buildings and monuments in Poland concern the preservation of the original building material, construction as well as the shape and appearance of the repaired facility [1]. The basic tasks for the designer who specifies the scope, methods and technology of the repair works is to ensure the building‘s safety of use and safety of its users while maintaining the conservation recommendations. The technical failure of the observation tower of the St. Anna’s Church, which took place after a relatively short period of time from the major overhaul of this facility, is presented in this paper. The scope of expert and design works as well as the scope for the contractor of the repair works, that are necessary to select the proper technological solutions for this case, are given. The diagnostics of the building carried out by the authors of the article allowed to properly determine the degree of damage. This ensured the suitable selection of the design solution and further replacement of the damaged cornice of the supporting structure of this historic church.

This article addresses the important problem of improving the energy efficiency of historic buildings, where due to the architectural value of the facade, thermal insulation should be placed from the inside. As a part of this publication, the author, on the basis of their own experience and research, presents and discusses selected problems to which special attention should be paid when designing this type of insulation. These are among other things: disturbances in the distribution of the temperature field on the partition; defects related to partial thermal insulation of partitions; the lack of detailed analysis of wall systems in terms of construction and their technical condition; wood decay; the selection of inadequate calculation methods, e.g., the simple method of Fokin–Glaser and many others. The author, on the basis of measurements and computational analysis, presents the methodology of a correct solution of such problems. This significantly simplifies currently applied methods.

RESUMENEl edificio en estudio es emblemático. Se encuentra desplantado sobre un suelo arcilloso. Ha sufrido modificaciones por motivos estructurales, arquitectónicos, estéticos y funcionales. La construcción de este templo data del siglo XVI. Se construyó con mampostería de piedra natural junteada con arcilla y techumbre de madera. Su planta está conformada por una sola nave rectangular de 12 m de ancho x 50 m de largo, la cual contempla 5 contrafuertes laterales, que presentan falla estructural en sus extremos superiores e inferioresAl analizar las causas del origen de las fracturas presentes, se comprueba que el edificio se construyó de acuerdo a la geometría propuesta en diversos tratados antiguos, lo que supondría un adecuado comportamiento mecánico. Se presentan las principales conclusiones obtenidas del análisis estructural realizado a los botareles de los contrafuertes, así como del estudio de Mecánica de Suelos realizado, concluyéndose que las fracturas presentes en los botareles de los contrafuertes se deben a la inadecuada selección de la mampostería natural empleada y a un inadecuado procedimiento constructivo.Palabras clave: Fábrica; tratados; edificios históricos; contrafuertes; botareles.ABSTRACTThe Tiripetío building is emblematic. It is founded on a clay soil. It has undergone modifications due to structural, architectural, aesthetic and functional reasons. The construction of this temple dates back from the 16th century. It was built with stone masonry natural binder with clay and wood roof. The plant consists of a single rectangular bay of 12 m wide x 50 m in length, which includes 5 lateral buttresses, showing structural failure in the upper and lower ends. To analyze the root causes of the fractures, it was checked that the building was built according to the geometry described in various former treaties which would have a proper mechanical behavior. The main conclusions obtained from the structural analysis at botareles buttresses, as well as the study of soil mechanics, were that fractures present at the botareles of the buttresses are due to improper selection of the used natural masonry as well as an inappropriate construction procedure.Keywords: Factory; treaties; historic buildings; buttresses; flying buttresses.

Historic buildings that have survived to the present day have been subject to maintenance, repair, and overhaul. Repair work is being carried out so that it can be enjoyed by future generations. However, there have been changes in the construction technology: some construction products have been discontinued and replaced with others of different quality parameters, lower prices, etc. It is necessary to use substitute products during construction work—that is, replacement products that are shaped after the original. Therefore, there is a problem of selecting the best possible substitute material, taking into account many important factors, including the recommendations and requirements of the conservator. This paper presents a methodology for the process of material substitution planning and selection of a substitute with the use of multicriteria analysis, by implementing it in the refurbishment of a historic building façade.
