SUMMARY A methodology for the performance‐based seismic risk assessment of classical
columns is presented. Despite their apparent instability, classical columns are, in general …

From the mechanical point of view, the particularity of masonry structures stems from the fact
that the structural system is hard to be modeled by the classical Continuum Mechanics …

The seismic vulnerability of statues mounted on monolithic or multidrum columns is
presented in this article. Emphasis is given to the procedure that should be followed for the …

This paper presents a numerical study of the response to earthquake actions of eight ancient
Greek multidrum columns, which were chosen as representative of a broad spectrum of the …

On the south flank of the Acropolis of Athens there are two 10-m high columns belonging to
the monument of Thrasyllos, free-standing since the third century BC. Obviously they have …

The seismic performance assessment of the ancient Temple of Aphaia in Aegina island,
Greece, is presented. The Temple of Aphaia was erected around 500BC using porous …

A numerical study of the behaviour of the walls of the Cella of Parthenon subjected to
seismic loading is presented. Commonly used numerical codes for masonry structures …

The temple of Aphrodite was built at the end of the first century AD on the top of the Amathus
hill in Cyprus. The architectural study envisages the anastylosis of three columns of the …

Classical monuments are articulated structures consisting of multi-drum columns made of
discrete stone blocks that are placed one on top of the other without mortar. Despite the lack …

In this paper, the response of a restored part of the ancient Temple of Pythian Apollo under
strong seismic motions is examined. The monument is located on the ancient Acropolis of …
