Work package 6: "Development of methodologies for using non-destructive stone assessment and diagnosis technologies"
This work package aims at the development of innovative non-destructive or low invasive, minor destructive methods for assessment of the deterioration condition and state as well as consolidation effects on particulate materials, mainly stones and mortars.
Part 1: Application of ground penetration radar for the detection of fractures
Development of a theoretical thin fracture response model Development of a dynamic constitutive model Validation of the models by laboratory tests Development of a computer code for data processing and interpretation On-site test measurements on trial objects On-site measurements to characterise the objects before and after treatment with the developed nano-materials.
Part 2: Innovated methods for surface degradation assessment
Development of standardized peeling tests Sequential image analysis In-situ hardness test Enhanced Karsten tube test
Part 3: Innovative ultrasonic measurement systems and drilling resistance devices
