| Abstrait: |
The gravity structure of the Romanesque Abbey of Payerne in Switzerland showed structural disorders indicating a delicate state of equilibrium. Consequently, the structure was stabilized by installing inclined tendons inside the walls of the side-naves that were anchored up to 10 m below the foundation in the ground. The implemented concept is original, invisible and allowed to avoid the horizontal steel bars (to take the horizontal thrust force of arches) that, in such cases, usually are installed, however significantly impair the perception of space in the church. |
