Cracking of the Vault in a Church Building and Activities Undertaken in the View of the Further Mining Exploitation

The paper concerns a church building, where as a result of mining exploitation a number of damages have been observed, including cracking of the nave. The method of repairing the damage was presented. Taking into consideration the further planned mining exploitation, a concept was put forward to reinforce the church with steel tie rods at the level of the vaults over the nave, which will provide for its protection against adverse impact of the tilt of the land surface
