Abstract

Natural stone has been used since the dawn of civilization as a construction material for buildings that are historical and cultural buildings and monuments. The Zagreb Cathedral is an example of such a historical and cultural building and data regarding the extraction of stone for its construction and reconstruction is scientifically underestimated. Based on a review of previously published literature and an investigation on the current state of the sites where stone for construction was previously quarried, this paper presents a systematic overview of challenges regarding stone material that will be faced in the restoration of the Cathedral after the 2020 earthquakes. The autochthonous stone varieties used for the Cathedral, namely lithothamnium limestone, litavac, calcareous sandstone, and vinicite were determined. The description of the locations where they were quarried was emphasized, and the suitability of these sites for re-quarrying the stone blocks during reconstruction after the 2020 earthquake was investigated. In addition, the Cathedral was renovated in the meantime with travertine imported from Italy, which, although it is not of domestic origin, represents an integral part of the Cathedral and whose characteristics must be taken into account in the planning of the current reconstruction of the Cathedral. To preserve the cultural memory of quarrying in the Zagreb area, emphasis is given to the importance of preserving and showing old visual representations of the quarries.

萨格勒布大教堂的建造和翻新中使用的天然建筑石材

自文明之初，天然石材就被用作建筑材料，用于历史文化建筑和纪念碑。萨格勒布大教堂是这样一个历史和文化建筑的例子，有关其建筑和重建所需的石材提取的数据在科学上被低估了。基于对先前发表的文献的回顾和对先前开采建筑石材的遗址现状的调查，本文系统地概述了2020年地震后大教堂修复将面临的石材挑战。确定了用于大教堂的本地石材品种，即石质石灰岩，litavac，钙质砂岩和vinicite。强调了采石地点的描述，并调查了这些地点在2020年地震后重建期间重新采石的适用性。此外，与此同时，大教堂还使用了从意大利进口的石灰华进行了翻新，尽管石灰华不是意大利本土的，但它是大教堂不可分割的一部分，在目前大教堂重建的规划中必须考虑到石灰华的特点。为了保存萨格勒布地区采石场的文化记忆，重点是保存和展示采石场古老的视觉表现的重要性。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
