Non-invasive techniques of assessment of sandstone masonry
Havlín, J. ; Slavíková, M. ; Válek, Jan ; Bayer, K.
A whole range of non-invasive assessment techniques is available today and they open new possibilities for extending building surveying possibilities of built heritage. The paper discusses their use for the assessment of facing stone masonry of the Charles Bridge in Prague.
3D scanning technology in the hands of the conservator-restorer
Gláser, Petr
3D scanning technology is undoubtedly a modern progressive techniques that, especially in some areas, are increasingly applied. It is no different in the field of care for our cultural heritage. Relatively simple method brings, thanks to the quick development of means of implementation, still new applications and can deliver a wide range of important information. The devices are user friendly and comparatively affordable. These are just additional reasons for the fact that 3D scanning more applied in the fields of restoration. \nA short paper describes the technique of 3D scanning from the conservator-restorer's perspective and is focused primarily on understanding their capabilities, but does not forget those restrictions, which are always crucial. From time to time there is a tendency to uncritical promotion of certain methods or means. Many similar cases we also known in the field of cultural heritage and it seems that the 3D scanning method is well suited to become the next one.\n
Diagnostic of timber structures
Kloiber, Michal
Diagnostic of timber structures is a special field of engineering, that is focused on timber assessment, evaluation of defects and assessing the safety and reliability of existing wood structures. Special task is the diagnostic of timber structures in historical objects. In such cases, usually, we can not use the standard methods for determining the mechanical properties of wood, it is necessary to meet the requirement of minimum intervention into the object structure. The aim of the presentation is to inform the professional audience about the possibilities of application of diagnostic methods, which provide the required information with a high consideration for preservation of the original material and the object design concept. Quality diagnostic uses very sophisticated methods and can be costly, however, often provide accurate data even in low invasiveness, which is valued at the historical object diagnostic. Overall cost of the technical and diagnostical survey of structure can be reduced by cost savings on demolition and repair works.
