| Popis: | Bagan site is one of the most remarkable heritage areas in Myanmar, belonging to the List of UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Besides its cultural importance, Bagan is located in an area with high seismic hazard and the evaluation of the seismic vulnerability is fundamental for the protection of the monuments. This work utilises Loka-Hteik-Pan temple, a typical Buddhist middle-size structure, to evaluate the seismic performance of this kind of monuments, which corresponds to more than 50 around Bagan area. Furthermore, the efficiency a strengthening proposal, composed by two kinds of steel ties, was evaluated, considering the past seismicity of the area and its current hazard defined by the Burmese code. The application of steel ties is recommended for the mitigation of the seismic vulnerability of this kind of Buddhist temple in Bagan, since it corresponds to a compatible and adequate strengthening technique. The authors wish to express gratitude to Myanmar’s Department of Archaeology, National Museum and Library (DoA), Association of Myanmar architects, Professor Mario Santana Quintero and Dr. Erik Costamagna from Carleton University (CAN) for this unique opportunity to collaborate in the preservation of the Loka-Hteik-Pan temple and the provided data, which were fundamental for the seismic analysis. Finally, the authors would like to thank to Professor Su Su and Aung Zaw Min for the supporting given during the in situ tests. |
