New technologies play an increasingly important role in the analysis, monitoring, restoration, and preservation of historic structures. These technological systems continue to get more advanced and complex, for example: 3D digital construction and documentation programming, 3D imaging data (including laser scanning and photogrammetry), multispectral and thermographic imaging, geophysical data, etc. This book will present the latest nondestructive technologies used in the characterization, preservation, and structural health monitoring of historic buildings. It will include numerous case studies, as well as theoretical explanations about each of the methods and technologies used in each.
Diagnosis of Heritage Buildings by Non-Destructive Techniques

Besides their notable historical and cultural significance, heritage buildings crucially contribute to the economy of those countries that rely heavily on the tourism industry. Investigation and monitoring of the origins of deterioration and damage are therefore key to the preservation of architectural heritage. Diagnosis of Heritage Buildings by Non-Destructive Techniques offers an up-to-date overview of state-of-the-art knowledge by collating specialized studies written by an international group of experts in the field, while also examining the value of these non-intrusive methods through a number of real-life case studies which prove NDT techniques' global relevance. The volume is an invaluable reference resource for students, researchers, and practitioners alike. - Helps readers to easily identify the latest advances in non-destructive testing by subdividing the content into sections specific to each assessment approach - Explores the integration of different NDT methodologies, facilitating the interoperability of traditional and advanced technologies - Presents case studies based on real built heritage to show how to correctly implement the measurement techniques described, and to interpret the results
