    Kržan, Meta ; Cotič, Patricia, 1987- ; Bosiljkov, Vlatko
    Within the framework of EU research project PERPETUATE - extensive in-situ andnumerical investigation of individual heritage assets and groups of buildings has been carried out in Slovenia. In order ... to exclude the uncertainties in respect to applied modelling strategies, construction knowledge, effectiveness of particular strengthening techniques and effect of soil-structure interaction (SSI) on the seismic capacity of cultural heritage assets, various architectural types of buildings were investigated. For the case studies in Slovenia, problematic issues such as material characteristics in case of deteriorated masonry, improvement of stone masonry by grouting withdifferent types of grout injections, introduction of ties for prevention of local mechanisms of failure and resonance effect due to SSI were dealt with. The Macro block model method is convenient and efficient for determiningthe vulnerability of groups of buildings, while global response mechanism produce more realistic results in respect to single buildings assessment. Knowledge factor should be defined depending from the adopted strategy of modelling. With proper introduction of low cost strengthening techniques considerable stock of building may be preserved in the case of seismic events of lower intensity with higher probability of occurrence.
