1. Masonry monuments (dry connection)
This type of monuments include classical-Hellenistic monuments (temples, towers, fortifications, etc.) as well as some prehistoric ones (the most emblematic vaulted tombs), Ottoman (minarets) or more recent ones (parts of monuments, e.g. porches, as well as burial monuments). This module spans 4-5 lessons and includes:
(a) Typology, structural analysis and routine pathology;
(b) Theoretical approach to structural behavior, methods of analysis, controls etc.,
(c) Planning and dimensioning interventions with reference to principles and regulatory framework, and
(d) Examples of analyzes and interventions.
2. Masonry monuments (with mortars)
This type of monuments includes Roman, Byzantine, post-Byzantine, Ottoman and newer monuments. This module spans 6-7 lessons and includes:
(a) Typology of common and special structures, analysis, common pathology and reference to the principles and regulatory framework (materials and typical structures, causes and development of damage, categorization of structures, institutional framework and legislation),
(b) Methods of investigating an existing situation;
(c) Theoretical approach to structural behavior, simulation and analysis methods (masonry mechanics, simulation methods and linear analysis methods, inelastic static analysis, local mechanisms),
(d) Planning and dimensioning of interventions,
(e) Examples of analyzes and interventions.
3. Supporting lectures (1 or 2 lectures)
(a) Protection of monuments in practice, in the context of the Archaeological Service and the Ministry of the Interior: history of the protection, preservation and restoration of monuments in Greece,
(b) Building materials, materials of historical constructions and repair materials (reference to stones & bricks, emphasis on mortars & grouts): brief historical review, methods of analysis and characterization of materials, pathology, determination of repair and reinforcement material requirements (performances), design.
4. Guest speaker lecture
It will concern various relevant topics related to the protection of monuments, such as: archaeology, material science, modern methods of recording, security of museum exhibits, etc. In this way, students will obtain an overview on the expertise of other specialties involved in the protection of monuments and archaeological sites.
