English abstract:
In Vienna as in the most cities of Central Europe more than 25% of existing buildings are older than 100 years. A survey of seismic caused damages of these buildings during the last 50 years has shown that most collateral damages were caused by the collapse of parts of the facade elements.
Within the last years several buildings of this construction phase have been investigated in the context of preservation of the built heritage.
In the course of these research projects basic concepts of limit state verification of the seismic resistance of these parts have been developed. The main topics of these investigations were concerned with the mechanical properties of the existing structures, limit state verification of seismic resistance and methods for assessment and retrofitting of these elements.
