Rehabilitation of selected vault construction in the Premonstratensian monastery convent in Teplá
Part of the extensive restoration of part of the buildings in the Premonstratensian monastery complex in Teplá included the unique rehabilitation of vault structure construction in the courtyard of the convent. Stabilization and rehabilitation carried out by composite tapes made from high-strength carbon fiber and epoxy resin applied to the surface of the vaulting masonry represents a new non-invasive and gentle method of strengthening eroded vaulting construction. The article describes the design and process of stabilization and strengthening the vaults of the monastery cloister on the 1st floor on continuous cracked and sometimes considerable tension splits at the crown of the vault using non-prestressed strips of carbon fiber. The article also illustrates the importance of theoretical and experimental analysis as a basis for reliable design of rehabilitation and prevention of the recurrence of defects in the renewal of heritage protected buildings.
