Abstract – In this paper, the authors present research conducted through case
studies on historical monument constructions situated on challenging foundation soils,
where the foundation structure has also been affected. The constructions in question are
historical monument buildings, typically over 100 years old. The destructive factors
causing foundation degradation and affecting the soil’s resistance parameters are
mainly leaks from water networks but also include certain intervention works carried
out in the immediate vicinity of the monument. The resulting differential settlements
motivated in-depth geotechnical studies as well as measures for soil stabilization and
infrastructure reinforcement. The results of the research have supported the
intervention works adopted by the authors, many of these case studies having also been
executed to date. In this context, the article presents highly valuable material for
specialists in adopting intervention measures for infrastructure reinforcement.
Keywords – consolidation, historical monument.
