Structural rehabilitation and stabilization of Smederevo fortress Tower 11

Abstract

This paper presents the structural rehabilitation and stabilization of Tower 11 of Smederevo fortress. The tower is tilted for about 1.8 m towards its outer edge, that is, towards the surrounding vertical walls that it was connected to. As a part of the structural rehabilitation and stabilization of Tower 11, it is planned to improve the soil properties with jet grouting columns and to secure tower’s foundations, as well as to rehabilitate its parts above the ground. After completion of these works, conservation and restoration of the tower can begin.
