- •
The foundation piles of the Church of Santa Maria Maggiore, Venice, were investigated.
- •
The elements are still in service, and their mechanical properties were assessed.
- •
Loss for residual strength was greater than for decay-related residual mass.
- •
Both holocellulose decrease and mass loss contribute to the compressive strength reduction.
- •
Basic density and holocellulose could be used as possible predictors of residual strength.
