heal.abstract	The Church of St. Constantine & Helen is located in the Municipal Theater square in Piraeus. It was constructed in 1882. A series of recent earthquakes, including the Athens 1999 earthquake, strained the temple and caused serious damages. These damages are mainly attributed to the absence of particular provisions to carry the earthquake loads. In order to evaluate the earthquake vulnerability of the church, a detailed study of the masonry structure was conducted in order to determine the mechanical properties, the building construction details and the current condition of the structure as well as its dynamic behavior through in situ and laboratory testing as well as through finite element analysis. Based on the results, strengthening and repair measures are proposed, using a combination of masonry consolidation techniques, fiber reinforced plastic materials (FRP) and steel tie rods.	en
