Constructive solutions applicable for restoration of wooden household buildings on the example of the shop of the Glukharev merchants in Pereslavl-Zalessky

Introduction. Preservation of cultural heritage is an urgent task of modern society. Its necessity is also stated in the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation dated 02.07.2021 № 400 “The National Security Strategy of the Russian Federation”: “...strengthening of traditional Russian spiritual and moral values, preservation of cultural and historical heritage of the people of Russia”. It is also clear that Russian society is aware of the importance of preserving the architectural cultural heritage of our country. Voluntary expeditions and other activities are carried out in order to preserve cultural heritage objects, as well as old houses that are not included in the register. The research of Glukharev merchants’ shop is a part of the historical and architectural research of the Rybatskaya Sloboda in Pereslavl-Zalessky. In this place the historical appearance is still preserved as well as features connected with the historically developed trade specialization of the sloboda. The research is devoted to one of the old economic buildings of the sloboda — a trading shop. This object is a rare valuable building. It is in an emergency condition and requires urgent intervention of specialists. The methods applicable to the restoration of wooden outbuildings are considered. The possibility of using each method for the shop of the Glukharev merchants is evaluated, and also design solutions of structures are proposed and the most rational solution is determined. The choice of the restoration method determines the duration, labour and economic costs of the work and depends mainly on the condition of the building and its conservation status.

Materials and methods. Old houses of Rybatskaya Sloboda, archival sources, scientific works, normative documents were analyzed. A field study of the building was carried out, in the course of which measurements were made, photo-fixation was made, the condition of the structures was assessed, and the calculation of the structures was carried out.

Results. The options for reinforcing the bench roof structures were investigated and the cross-sections of the structures were selected for the most optimal option.

Conclusions. The best option turned out to be the roof reinforcement with struts and underpinnings with cross sections of 30 × 30 and 40 × 40.
