Restaurierung antiker Tempel: Experimentelle Untersuchungen zum Ausziehverhalten von Verankerungen im Marmor (2008)
Journal Article
Kourkoulis, S., Papanicolopulos, S.-A., Marinelli, A., & Vayas, I. (2008). Restaurierung antiker Tempel: Experimentelle Untersuchungen zum Ausziehverhalten von Verankerungen im Marmor. Bautechnik / Structural Engineering, 85(2), 109-119. https://doi.org/10.1002/bate.200810010

In restoration works of antique Greek temples individual marble blocks are connected together to form a single element, e.g. an architrave. Due to the demand of reversibility of the intervention, this is done in the Acropolis of Athens by means of ti...
