| Zusammenfassung |
| The recent increase in frequency and severity of flooding in the UK has led
to a shift in the perception of risk associated with flood hazards. This has
extended to the conservation community, and the risks posed to historic
structures that suffer from flooding are particularly concerning for those
charged with preserving and maintaining such buildings. In order to fully
appraise the risks in a manner appropriate to the complex issue of
preservation, a new methodology is presented here that studies the nature of
the vulnerability of such structures, and places it in the context of risk
assessment, accounting for the vulnerable object and the subsequent exposure
of that object to flood hazards. The testing of the methodology is carried
out using three urban case studies and the results of the survey analysis
provide guidance on the development of fragility curves for historic
structures exposed to flooding. This occurs through appraisal of
vulnerability indicators related to building form, structural and fabric
integrity, and preservation of architectural and archaeological values. Key
findings of the work include determining the applicability of these
indicators to fragility analysis, and the determination of the relative
vulnerability of the three case study sites. |
