ABSTRACT
However, the proper design of a grout composition and its application cannot ensure on their own the successful completion of the grouting intervention in situ. Evidently, particular care has to be taken of the adequate execution of the whole intervention on a daily basis. To this end a specific application methodology has been developed, based on the experience gained from applications to various monuments and, in particular, to the Columns of the Opisthodomos of the Parthenon of the Athens Acropolis (Miltiadou et al. 2005). This methodology has been proposed by the structural restoration study (Miltiadou et al. 2003), later tested on the aforementioned wallettes (Miltiadou et al. 2006) and finally applied in situ, during the structural restoration works.
