Traditional art of building in Bosnia and Herzegovina comprises brick or stone masonry structures. Most historical buildings belonging to national cultural heritage were made of stone-masonry. The country is situated in seismic active region of South-East Europe. In the case of strong earthquake motion such buildings could suffer heavy damages. Some structural elements of historical buildings, as domes and arches, cracked already by moderate earthquake but without the loss of stability. Substantial damages were caused by recent war disaster. Damages could be accumulated through the history as well. Generally, stone-masonry buildings in Bosnia and Herzegovina can be classified in vulnerability classes between A and C according to European Macroseismic Scale. Design and construction procedures for rehabilitation are presented here with examples of repair and strengthening of mosques, which present historical stone masonry structures dating from the Ottoman period in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Traditional and contemporary materials were used for their rehabilitation. It is important to preserve original forms, especially those of damaged elements. The challenge for structural engineers and architects was to find equilibrium between aesthetical and structural demands.

Typical Scenario

A building context as complex as that of many historical centers in Europe is the typical scenario where more and more technicians found themselves at work. In addition to the usual difficulty of dealing with the complexity of masonry building clusters, they particularly feel the lack of the essential support of dedicated computational tools. In fact, the calculation codes currently available do not address modeling and analysis of building clusters in a personalized manner. VENUS, Italian acronym for Nonlinear Assessment of Structural Units, is a software developed in C++, which deals with the seismic assessment of building clusters in an integrated manner, accompanying the practitioner from the early stages of defining the level of knowledge, to the management of the design quantities, until the graphic elaboration of the results. Finally, it allows to test the effectiveness of a local intervention with traditional and innovative strengthening techniques and to evaluate its effects on the global response. Finally, a brief description of a stochastic approach foreseen in a future version of the software is discussed.
