Abstract
One of the negative aspects of technological progress is the threat to historical heritage by the impacts of technical seismicity. Dynamic load represents a significant threat to the safety and durability of historic buildings. The long-term effects of these types of loads lead to degradation of materials and connections, cause the occurrence of cracks and can increase the size of these cracks, and potentially lead to large-scale damage. Loads which would be safe for undamaged structures could become critical. This risk is present for various types of historic buildings; differences may occur due to the condition of walls, the amount of dynamic load and maintenance quality – which also includes the timely identification of damage (building diagnostics) and subsequent timely (and hence not too expensive) repairs. The aim of this paper is minimizing the effect of the bell’s ringing on the Church.
