On-site investigation techniques for the structural evaluation of historic masonry buildings

Objective

ONSITEFORMASONRY will provide improved methodologies for the evaluation of the structure of historic masonry Cultural Heritages. It wills enables owners and end-users of Cultural Heritages to solve structural problems caused by environmental factors and which menace the safety of buildings and citizens. It will meet new factors for increased frequency of inspection. The approach will be to mature a diagnostic methodology based on NDT and MDT techniques, to develop a positioning sensor for effective data acquisition, to develop software for combined data analysis and reconstruction and to improve existing and to develop new models for structural evaluation and redesign. The results will be evaluated by performing field tests, and their impact on the assessment of Cultural Heritages will be quantified and disseminated.
