3. Preservation of stone monuments in Angkor, Cambodia

Statics and construction Czech research team in Angkor:

Project director:
Dr. Karel Kranda
Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic
Nuclear Physics Institute

Head of research:
Doc. Ing. Jan Pašek, Ph.D.
Faculty of Civil Engineering of the CTU (Czech Technical University) in Prague
Department of Building Structures

Team members:
Ing. Jiří Svoboda
Ing. Hansley Pravin Gaya

Notes Several structures have been analyzed.
                               
Description Stone monuments in the Angkor archaeological park, registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, are now largely deteriorated and the state of the preserved ones is rapidly getting worse. Thus, international experts are intensely looking into causes of the poor technical condition of these important monuments and are trying to find suitable solutions for their rehabilitation. The Czech research team participates in saving these monuments in Angkor as well, with the five-year research project "Thermal Imaging and Structural Analysis of Sandstone Monuments in Angkor". The program RFEM by the Dlubal company was used to create numerical models and carry out a structural analysis.
