| dc.description.abstract | The preservation of the built heritage has long been a public concern, mainly due to fears about the loss of identity, history and heritage of populations. The main concerns are the conservation and restoration of monuments that usually represent important events in the history of a city or a country. More recently, urban residents and policymakers have become aware of the abandonment or degradation of old city cores, leading to mischaracterisation of the buildings and ways of living. To preserve history and promote building and urban renewal, considering the basic principles of the preservation process, it is important to introduce the least possible disturbance. To start with, the diagnostic process is a key aspect, especially to investigate the construction characteristics and the damage to materials, and to find structural and nonstructural problems. To start any process, a visual inspection, a study and knowledge of the original construction methods and materials and historical repair techniques can help but may not be sufficient, and the use of conventional techniques to complement the information needed can result in an insufficient understanding or in extensive and unnecessary intrusions in the construction. In recent years, the rapid growth of science and research, combined with the industry and the need to gather more and accurate information, have led to the fast development of nondestructive testing methodologies that allow the architectural archaeology to be studied, the structural assessment to be supported and information to be given about the material properties. Each technique can be used for a specific purpose, but, in some cases, only a combination of techniques is reliable and gives an accurate interpretation of the data acquired. The fundamental contribution and aim of this book is to give a full overview of several case studies where different nondestructive techniques have been applied, in several cases using multidisciplinary approaches, which aim to highlight the importance of the information acquired and encourage the use of these techniques in future studies. The book brings together 16 chapters focused on nondestructive testing techniques applied at the urban building level and also applied to monumental buildings, archaeology and cultural heritage, bringing together more than 40 international researchers and experts in the field, who are the source of practical case studies supported by a theoretical background. | pt_PT |
