Masonry Vaults in a Historic Monument - Ground penetrating radar - 2 profiles
Description
GPR survey inside a historic monument, acquired with a GSSI UtilityScan DF dual-frequency antenna to locate masonry vaults and characterise the structure above them. Two profiles.
Historic masonry is a difficult subject for GPR: unlike reinforced concrete, it has no regular reinforcement to give clear reflections, and the fill above a vault is heterogeneous — rubble, mortar, voids, later alterations. The vault extrados appears as a curved reflection that must be traced among the reflections of the fill itself.
A realistic case for training in non-destructive diagnosis of heritage buildings, where coring and probing are rarely permitted. Raw unprocessed files.
