Abstract
The article will present the main results of experimental and theoretical research into non-reinforced barrel vault constructions and barrel vault construction reinforced with composites based on high-strength fibres and epoxy resin, or special polymer cement mortar. Vaulted constructions of historic and heritage buildings are extremely sensitive to deformations of the supporting construction, and their response to seismic effects may often be accompanied by cracking and mechanical vault failures. The results of research and study into the dynamic behaviour of barrel vaults brings new knowledge applicable in the prevention of vault failures in regions with an increased intensity of natural or technical seismicity, for the identification and localisation of failures using e.g. MAC or COMAC criteria. It can also be valuable in their serviceability assessment and service life extension. The second part of the article presents the results of theoretical and experimental analysis and a practical example of the stabilisation and reinforcement of 16 extensively damaged barrel vaults (with a 3.05 m span) with large lunettes situated over the cloister in the Premonstrate Monastery in Teplá (built in the 16th century), located in a seismically active region of West Bohemia.
