Zusammenfassung
Im Zusammenhang mit der UNESCO-Aktion zur Rettung der Nubischen Denkmäler werden verschiedene geologische und geotechnische Probleme dieses Unternehmens beschrieben. Regional-geologische und geomorphologische Fragen, Kapillaritäts- und Salzverwitterungs-Probleme werden angeschnitten und diskutiert. Zum Schluß werden Maßnahmen zur Rettung der Philae-Tempel skizziert.
Abstract
In connection with the UNESCO-activity to save the Nubian Monuments several geological and geotechnical problems arising are discussed. Geomorphology, regional geology, capillarity-questions and salt-action are considered and ways of saving the Philae-Monuments are sketched.
Résumé
En regard de l'action de l'UNESCO pour le sauvetage des monuments de la Nubie, l'auteur décrit les différents problèmes géologiques et géotechniques relatifs à cette entreprise. Des questions à caractère géologique régional et géomorphologique, des problèmes d'altération par capillarité et à l'intervention de sels sont examinés et discutés.
