Unique documents like medieval manuscripts, precious incunables, and church registers as well as original building plans, construction reports, old chemical recipies used for repairing and various others can be found in these archiv...

Inverse Modeling of Climate Responses of Monumental Buildings

The indoor climate conditions of monumental buildings are very important for the conservation of these objects. Simplified models with physical meaning are desired that are capable of simulating temperature and relative humidity. In this paper we research state-space models as methodology for the inverse modeling of climate responses of unheated monumental buildings. It is concluded that this a...

Seismic and Restoration Assessment of Monumental Masonry Structures

Masonry structures are complex systems that require detailed knowledge and information regarding their response under seismic excitations. Appropriate modelling of a masonry structure is a prerequisite for a reliable earthquake-resistant design and/or assessment. However, modelling a real structure with a robust quantitative (mathematical) representation is a very difficult, complex and computa...
