Analysis of vulnerability of cultural heritage against floods

One of the preconditions for successful planning is to estimate the risk of flood damage with regard to the construction resilience and constituent materials of historical objects. For this purpose we designed and developed methodology and supporting sotfware application for analysing building and materials vulnerability to floods. It offers the users to perform customised analysis of their building consisting of general aspects of the building and location together with sophisticated details of inner building constructions and movable objects. The output of the application offers prioritised actions, procedures and hints to avoid and mitigate flood risks and aftermath based on user's inputs being consulted with the inner knowledge base. According to this information it is also possible to make a risk map that will provide overal view of endangered bulidings and their needs in particular region.
