The Historical Bridge of Konitsa-Epirus, Greece: Documentation of the Structural System
The arched stone masonry bridge near the town of Konitsa, over Aoos river (1869 A.D.), was damaged and repaired in 1913 by using concrete. The RC jacket at the intrados is in critical state, exhibiting advanced concrete disintegration and reinforcement corrosion, with minor damage in the original structure of the bridge. In order to provide an intervention scheme for the preservation of the monument and to check whether the reconstruction of the RC jacket needs to be part of the intervention scheme, an overall study of the bridge was undertaken. In this paper, the in-situ and in-lab documentation is presented. To this purpose, non-destructive techniques were applied, along with material sampling and laboratory testing, whereas photogrammetric survey and geotechnical investigation were performed. The collected data serve the purpose of documenting the bearing structure of the bridge and interpreting construction peculiarities revealed during in-situ work.
