Infrared thermographic inspection of murals and characterization of degradation in historic monuments

Scientific aspects of the survey and evaluation of the technical state in implementation of preservation projects of cultural heritage objects

“…); x graphic and / or photographic images of the locations and nature of defects and damage (in the case of performing photo fixation necessarily drawn a scheme indicating points and photographing direction) [10]; x conducting field structural testing (if necessary); x determining the actual strength and deformation characteristics of the materials from which made the main building constructions and their elements; x determining the actual operating loads and impacts that perceived by the constructions at the time of the survey, as appropriate, taking into account the possible influence of the soil strain base; x determining the actual design scheme of the building or structure and its individual construction elements; x definition of calculating forces in constructions, that perceive current loads, and, in the case of building adaptation, additional projected operating loads; x calculation of the bearing capacity of constructions and parts of the building taking into account the results of the survey; x cameral processing and analysis of the survey results and calibration calculations; x determining the causes of defects and damages in constructions; x compose technical conclusion with findings about the technical condition of constructions on the results of the survey; x diagnostics of the construction materials condition; x the results of engineering and environmental studies. c. Measuring work at the engineering and technical researches [6].…”

The organizational mechanism for the formation of programs for the renovation of cultural heritage objects on the basis of the value approach

“…The architectural value of a building is not a consequence of its technical, constructive or ergonomic qualities, it more characterizes the attitude of a person to a given object [7,8].…”

Documentation of cultural heritage; techniques, potentials, and constraints

“…IR camera provides the capability of observing and documenting back structure of frescoes and paintings, padding, older layers, hidden structures, pentimento and preparatory drawing. It also helps analyse the composition of objects and buildings, and the state of conservation of façades, vaults and architectural structures (Moropoulo et al, 2001;Pelagotti et al, 2007;Voltolini et al, 2007) This nondestructive tool Voltolini et al, 2007;Mercuri et al, 2011;Kordatos et al, 2012) can be used in detection of moisture and rising damp in buildings and masonry structures (Kordatos et. al., 2012), identification of cracks .…”
