Expert´s opinion on structural stability of Hollar building after gas blast

Due to the damages in the Hollar building caused by the gas blast in the house nearby, stress analysts were assigned to check the structural stability. Both supporting and non-supporting structures of the Hollar building were inspected.

A preassure wave harmed large part of the windowpanes and other non-supporting constructions. The only damage of carrying structure is visible on a gabled wall which adjoins the building where the explosion happened. These are vertical cracks between the gabled wall and the facade wall in Divadelní Street. These cracks go through the supoorting construction but have no influance on the overall stability of the building or connecting constructions and they do not show any signs of damage progress.
