Geotechnical assessments of plain terrain fortifications in Albania
The research includes work on historical buildings, fortifications and cult monuments. Because of its diverse architectural and historical heritages, Albania offers plenty of research opportunities particularly in the repair of the geotechnical structures. A set of geological and geotechnical conditions will be analysed in order to comprehend conditions of two case studies placed in Peqini region. These are of significant importance according to their construction and for the fact that their closed contour foundations are present from the Romans period (in the Peqini castle) and constructed with limestone material brought from an older object (in the Clock Tower). Combination of type of structure and plain terrain geological characteristics are assessed. The goal is to contribute in the geotechnical assessment and revitalization of the case studies selected as objects with value for the community and for the field of geotechnical maintenance. Ultimately, this fosters a better appreciation of the historical heritage in Albania through the understanding of their geotechnical predictions reliability.
