COMPLEXITY OF GEOTECHNICAL PROBLEMS IN THE PROCESS OF REVITALIZATION OF RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS

Abstract

Revitalization of residential buildings is a process of renovation and improvement of the residential environment with the goal of providing users with a safe and healthy space in which to live. Through a series of necessary interventions and technical improvements, in the first phase of revitalization, the load-bearing structure, starting from the subgrade soil and foundations all the way to the top of the building, i.e. the roof structure, must be repaired and strengthened. The reinforced structure must guarantee the successful implementation of other planned phases of revitalization. The paper deals with geotechnical issues within which damages are registered, their causes are analyzed and measures for repairing the base soil and foundations are proposed. The problem is treated from the point of view of its complexity, the numerous causes of which are disscussed in the paper.
