| Zusammenfassung |
| The integration of high-resolution, non-invasive geophysical techniques
(such as ground-penetrating radar or GPR) with emerging sensing techniques
(acoustics, thermography) can complement limited destructive tests to
provide a suitable methodology for a multi-scale assessment of the state of
preservation, material and construction components of monuments. This paper
presents the results of the application of GPR, infrared thermography (IRT)
and ultrasonic tests to the 13th century rose window of Troia Cathedral
(Apulia, Italy), affected by widespread decay and instability problems
caused by the 1731 earthquake and reactivated by recent seismic activity.
This integrated approach provided a wide amount of complementary information
at different scales, ranging from the sub-centimetre size of the metallic
joints between the various architectural elements, narrow fractures and thin
mortar fillings, up to the sub-metre scale of the internal masonry structure
of the circular ashlar curb linking the rose window to the façade, which
was essential to understand the original building technique and to design an
effective restoration strategy. |
