Abstract

This study is part of an integrated initiative aimed at the restoration and adaptive reuse of Roman cisterns located beneath the Regional Theatre of Skikda, Algeria. As a critical component of a broader heritage conservation strategy, the project supports the structural rehabilitation and functional reintegration of historical infrastructure, while enhancing public safety and preserving architectural legacy. The primary objective is to implement a comprehensive structural diagnostic assessment using non-invasive and semi-invasive techniques to detect and map pathologies in the load-bearing elements, fixed installations, joints, and historical construction materials. Key issues such as material degradation, cracking, fractures, and aging are examined, with a focus on identifying root causes through systematic analysis. The diagnostic process integrates traditional surveying with modern techniques including visual inspection, material sampling, and structural behavior modeling to ensure accurate evaluation and informed decision-making. A secondary objective of the project is the adaptive reuse of the cisterns as a secure cultural facility specifically, an art gallery meeting contemporary safety standards. This transformation prioritizes structural stability, visitor safety, and long-term sustainability, while preserving the site's historical integrity. The project demonstrates a replicable approach to combining heritage preservation with modern safety and usability requirements.
