Постановка задачи. Многолетняя бесконтрольная эксплуатация моста привела его несущие конструкции к аварийному состоянию. Для дальнейшей его безопасной эксплуатации требуется конструктивное укрепление практически всех элементов. Так как их прямое упрочнение невозможно без нарушения подлинного облика, авторы поставили перед собой задачу косвенного усиления конструкций путем подбора на математической и физической моделях допустимых схем и предельных значений нагрузок на пролетное строение. Результаты. Для решения поставленной задачи проведены и проанализированы результаты качественных и количественных теоретических исследований объекта культурного наследия «Комплекс Ольденбургских. Мост влюбленных. 1900 г.». Осуществлено инструментальное освидетельствование памятника, выполнена и испытана лабораторная модель подлинного сооружения. Выводы. Полученные в результате всесторонних исследований данные позволили оценить ресурс несущей способности конструкций объекта культурного наследия, проанализировать возможности загружений пролетного строения моста и сделать заключение о его надежной эксплуатации в современных условиях. Statement of the problem. Many years of uncontrolled operation of the bridge led its supporting structures to an emergency condition. For further safe operation of the bridge, structural strengthening of almost all elements is required. Since their direct strengthening is impossible without violating the original appearance, we set the task of strengthening the structures indirectly by choosing permissible schemes and limit values of loads on the span on mathematical and physical models. Results. To solve this problem, we carried out and analyzed the results of qualitative and quantitative theoretical studies of the object of cultural heritage «The Oldenburg’s complex. Lovers Bridge. 1900». We carried out an instrumental inspection of the monument, designed and tested a laboratory model of the original structure. Conclusions. The data obtained as a result of comprehensive studies made it possible to assess the load-bearing capacity of the structures of the cultural heritage object, analyze the possibilities of loading the bridge span and make a conclusion about its further safe operation in modern conditions.

In the field of cultural heritage, three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction of monuments is a usual activity for many professionals. The aim in this paper focuses on the new technology educational application combining science, history, and archaeology. Being involved in almost all stages of implementation steps and assessing the level of participation, university students use tools of computer gaming platform and participate in ways of planning the virtual environment which improves their education through e-Learning. The virtual 3D environment is made with different imaging methods (helium-filled balloon, Structure for motion, 3D repository models) and a developmental plan has been designed for use in many future applications. Digital tools were used with 3D reconstructed buildings from the museum archive to Unity 3D for the design. The pilot study of Information Technology work has been employed to introduce cultural heritage and archaeology to university syllabuses. It included students with a questionnaire which has been evaluated accordingly. As a result, the university students were inspired to immerse themselves into the virtual lab, aiming to increasing the level of interaction. The results show a satisfactory learning outcome by an easy to use and real 3D environment, a step forward to fill in needs of contemporary online sustainable learning demands.

The article represents the results of archaeological digs of a Barrow № 2 (a cultural heritage object) belonging to the «Ak-Monai 1» Barrow Group situated in the Tavrida road construction area. A research area was 1534 square meters. Exploration revealed 13 simple ditch graves, mostly supplied with slab ceilings. 12 graves were initially covered with a burial mound; only one grave was placed inside a burial mound in antiquity. It was noticed that a burial mound had not been formed with a very first grave, but had been constructed by adding new graves to the cemetery, which was a common practice in Early Bronze Age. After completing of several burials a territory was leveled out to the extent possible, in some places it was windrowed. Digs of a Barrow № 2 enabled us to trace and analyze some funeral rite’s peculiarities, especially concerning children’s burials, and to give a cultural and chronological characteristic to the whole Barrow Group, attributing it to the late stage of a Pit Grave Culture.

The design codes and calculation methods related to the corrugated steel plate (CSP) bridges and culverts say only on the minimum soil height. This value is connected with the bridge span and shell height. In the case of static and dynamic loads (like passing the vehicles), such approach seems to be reasonable. However, it is important to know how the CSP bridges with high the soil covers behave under the seismic loads. This paper is presented the result of numerical study of CSP bridge with different high cover under seismic excitation. The analysed CSP railway bridge in the cross section has two closed pipe-arches. The span of shells is 4.40 m and the height of shells is 2.80 m. The load-carrying structure was constructed as two shells assembled from CSP sheets, designed with a depth of 0.05 m, pitch of 0.15 m, and plate thickness of 0.003 m. The real soil cover depth over the CSP structure (including ballast, blanket and backfill) equals 2.40 m. In this study two heights of soil cover were analysed (2.40 m and 5.00 m). Numerical analysis was conducted using the DIANA program based on finite element method (FEM). A linear model with El Centro records and Time History was used to analyse the problem.

abstract The destructive earthquake, Ms = 7.1 (BRK), occurred at 0537 a.m. local time, near an agricultural center in the mountainous Zagros Range of the Fars Province in the south of Iran. Leveling virtually all structures in the epicentral region, the shock killed nearly 25 per cent of the population of about 23,000 people in the devastated villages within a radius of about 50 km from the epicenter. Hardest hit was the valley complex of Qir, Karzin, and Afzar. The high percentage of death was mainly caused by structural failure and the collapse of the heavy roof of almost all adobe and masonry residential structures in the area. Structural failure of buildings with modern steel-beam roofs and of the traditional adobe and masonry-walled buildings with heavy timbered roofs in the region was due primarily to the lateral shear failure of poorly constructed adobe and masonry, lack of earthquake-resistant vertical load-carrying columns or elements, and lack of bracing and adequate tie-in in the roofs. Engineered buildings also collapsed, generally, because of defects in engineering and construction practices. Only minor cases of ground failure were observed, mainly slides in steep mountainous regions and some collapse of steep banks of rivers and irrigation channels.

The amount of data produced by the Cultural Heritage sector is continually increasing thanks to the numerous initiatives put in place by the cultural institutions for the digitization of their content. This process has also been accelerated by the emergence of cultural portals including regional, national and thematic portals and the European cultural portal Europeana. The Digital Cultural Heritage (DCH) sector also has the challenge of the complexity of the information itself. This is because of the relationship that each cultural object has with the collections it is part of, with the memory institutions where it is held, with the other objects of the same nature and/or culturally connected with it, and the many other types of relationships that represent the real scientific value of the digitised cultural object (be it a book, an archival record, an artefact from a museum, a sound recording or a video). Further, the investment in the production of the digital cultural heritage data is extremely high because the description of each object requires the human intervention of experts in the sector in order to associate the necessary metadata. Automatic extraction of knowledge (metadata) from the digital representation of cultural items is still far from being at a production level. It is not yet commonly available or seamless to the cultural institutions that are engaged in the digitisation of their collections. In addition to the DCH content that derive from digitisation processes applied to the tangible heritage, also born digital cultural heritage is more and more a reality, particularly in the artistic scenario. Plastic artists are commonly using 3D modelling for their studies. Architects, writers, multimedia artists, graphic designers and almost all other artistic expressions produce data that need to be preserved for the researchers of today and for the future generations. Digital cultural data is therefore extremely precious and its preservation is more and more an imperative priority. This paper intends to discuss these matters in the light of the ongoing work carried out by the DCH-RP project ( www.dch-rp.eu ) funded by the European Commission.

Almost all over the world, archaeological museums present collections of prehistoric small houses made of clay, bronze and wood. These artefacts were part of tombs equipment, some of high artistic level. Models discussed in the article represent five different cultures from distant geographic regions: Egypt, Italy, Northern Poland, Western Mexico, and Honshu in Japan. Since these cultures were additionally separated on a timeline this excluded interaction between them. A number of articles published contains information about such artefacts. However, according to the best knowledge of the author none has tried to juxtapose and compare the oldest architectural models.

Preservation of immovable cultural heritage is one of the main challenges for contemporary society. Nowadays very often organizations responsible for heritage management constantly have to deal with lack of resources, which are crucial for proper heritage preservation, maintaining and protection.The possible solution of these problems could be automated heritage monitoring, based on the 3D and AI technologies. 3D scanning technology is the most accurate method to capture the situation of an evolving cultural heritage object or complex at a given time. As a cultural heritage object or complex is evolving continuously, AI based comparison of two 3D point clouds created at different time allow to reliably trace potential changes. Proposed solution is realized by project financed by Research Council of Lithuania „Automated monitoring of urban heritage implementing 3D technologies”. The first results of the project are presented at this article.
