Preservation Conservation Engineering: A Case Study

Abstract

Through a case study of a 19th century residential structure in Glina, Croatia, this research paper investigates preservation engineering application of an earthquake-damaged historic buildings. Following the 2020 Petrina quakes, the cultural site of the case study received studies and minimally invasive retrofits to strike a ratio between preservation and seismic resistance. fabric-reinforced cementitious matrix FCRM and adding concrete to the floors was employed to improve structural integrity and increase its ability to resist seismic waves. The research paper concludes to effective approaches for preserving authentic heritage elements while improving life safety by combining preservation standards and structural engineering.
