Lifting the Veil of Time: Natural Hazards and Structural Problems Affecting Cultural Heritage Sites and Scientific Methods for Their Preservation
Abstract
Cultural heritage sites are fundamental elements of national and international heritage and are regarded as sensitive and critical structures of high and of national importance, exposed to a range of natural hazards, leading often structural failures. Cultural heritage sites include structures and monuments with effectively limitless lifetime, while admitting only limited intervention options. Therefore, the efficient assessment of their structural risk forms a very demanding task in comparison to similar analyses applied to modern structures. The current study is involved with natural hazards and natural disasters that have affected cultural heritage sites in the past and their consequences regarding their structural integrity. After a description of the aforementioned, specific scientific tools and advanced methods for the investigation of the geophysical/hydrological and climatological/meteorological natural hazards and their consequences at cultural heritage sites, regarding their structural integrity are presented and discussed.
