Abstract
As part of the innovative research entitled «Integrated Diagnostic Research Project and Strategic Planning for Materials, Interventions Conservation and Rehabilitation of the Holy Aedicule of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem», conducted by National Technical University of Athens NTUA in agreement with the Jerusalem Patriarchate (The Joint Agreement and the Status Quo authorize the Greek Orthodox Patriarch of Jerusalem, in constant cooperation with the initiators of the three Christian Communities, the guardians of the Holy Sepulcher, the Patriarch of Jerusalem, Theophilus III, the Holy Land of the Order of the Franciscans, Pierbattista Pizzaballa (until May 2016), present Latino Patriarch in Jerusalem, Fransesco Patton (from June 2016) and the Armenian Patriarch in Jerusalem, K. Nourhan Manougian, to coordinate all the scientific, technical and management structures of the project.), occurs the following contribution on «Diagnostic research of the Dome of the superstructure of the Holy Edicule of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem – Suggestions for maintenance and rehabilitation». The goals of the work are˙ the architectural documentation of the form of the Dome, the way it was constructed, the diagnosis of decay and pathology of its construction materials, the maintenance and rehabilitation proposals. First crucial step towards achieving the aforementioned was to conduct diagnostic investigation, through macroscopic observations, of the current situation of the Dome. The next step was to use non-destructive testing techniques (IRT, GPR, Endoscope, FOM) in order to obtain useful information regarding the construction way. Moreover, by using in situ measurements, the geometry of the structure was revealed, the sizing of the individual members was completed and thus it was possible to illustrate the structure in 2D and 3D designs. Finally, an illustrated model of the deformations of the structure was created and based on its results maintenance and recovery solutions were proposed.
