Projektbeschreibung

An im­port­ant share of Ro­man walls are built in the tech­ni­que of ver­ti­cal­ly­-­laye­red ma­son­ry. The out­si­de wall ele­ments are made of tai­lo­red stone work and the in­side is fil­led with rub­ble and some bin­der. This is the case for the am­phi­the­a­tre of AU­GUS­TA RAU­RI­CA. A com­mon pro­blem for this buil­ding tech­ni­que is the de­tach­ment of the out­si­de walls due to struc­tu­ral mo­ve­ments and wa­ter in­tru­si­on. If the­se walls are not sta­bi­li­zed in ti­me, they can fail all to­gether.

Du­ring an in­ter­ven­ti­on the joint­-­work was tho­rough­ly re­pai­red and a grout - ba­sed on fine quartz­-­san­d, li­me, and high­ly re­ac­ti­ve me­ta­ka­o­lin - was in­jec­ted in the vo­ids. The work was part of a trai­ning and co­ope­ra­ti­on ef­fort with the wor­kers of the site.
