Multiscale approach toward the assessment and conservation of archaeological heritage at Pompeii
The protection and promotion of heritage structures must be addressed by following fundamental principles of compatibility, reversibility, distinguishability, and minimum intervention for the protection of both the material asset and intangible values. To do that, conservation, reinforcement, and restoration interventions of architectural heritage require multi-disciplinary approaches. Indeed, the achievement of comprehensive and detailed knowledge of the structural behavior and material characteristics of heritage structures is an essential part of the conservation and restoration process. The archaeological site of Pompeii was listed as a World Heritage Site for the outstanding value of its tangible and intangible heritage. The protection of this exceptional site set special challenges related to its great extension, the fragility of its built asset, and a large number of visitors hosted every day. Moreover, from a structural point of view, technical and conservation restrictions limit the possibility to perform extensive and in-depth investigation campaigns to characterize basic mechanical properties. This study was based on scientific cooperation between the Department of Structures for Engineering and Architecture (DiSt), of the University of Naples Federico II, and the authority of the Archaeological Park of Pompeii (PAP). The research programme developed in this thesis aimed at providing fundamental mechanical information, which was still lacking in the literature, and suitable diagnostic methodologies, mainly based on non-destructive techniques and correlations with destructive test outcomes, to support structural assessment and conservation. For this purpose, the study was developed through multiscale diagnostic approaches and involved different types of activities and methodologies: extensive surveys; archival research; in situ inspections; in situ and laboratory testing involving both non-destructive and destructive methods; and numerical simulations. The research mainly focused on two typical ...
