Non-destructive testing: high resolution radar applications
Objective: development of NDT technologies for Cultural Heritage diagnostics
Example of ultra-high frequency radar survey in
small spaces between decorations and frescoes on
the counterfacade of S.Andrea Basilica in Mantova:
3D radar maps from dual-polarized data detect a
vertical metal anchor embedded in the masonry. It is
part of a tie-rod system connecting the counterfacade and the facade of the church.
Example of radar tomography:
horizontal section of a masonry pillar.
The radar map demonstrates that the
pillar perimeter consists of regular
stone blocks while the inner core
consists of irregular and poorly
cemented stone and brick material.

2. Crack pattern and structural damage survey
3. Use of an abacus and interpretation of the crack pattern
4. Material characterization: laboratory and on site tests (a minimal investigation program is suggested)
5. Seismic vulnerability analysis
6. Choice and analytical assessment of the improvement techniques

representations and volumetric stratigraphical analysis, in order

2 Danno: lieve spanciamento della parete con lesioni

2 Meccanismo: spinta fuori dal piano della parete sud a
causa della particolare conformazione della pianta, della
disomogeneità del tessuto murario, e della spinta delle

3 Danno: lesione verticale in corrispondenza dell'attacco

zona più debole, si presenta una concentrazione di sforzi
di trazione che porta alla rottura del collegamento stesso.

Historic masonry quality evaluation with NDT and MDT
34
[RELUIS 2014]
A necessary methodology for the quality evaluation of historic load-bearing
STONE masonry with visual inspection and using the test results based on
Non-Destructive Techniques.
With the help of an optical system, the double
flat-jack test is able to show in real time the
distribution of the forces in the irregular
masonry specimen, showing stones rotation
and where tensile stress is higher and so
cracks are forming. Other complementary ND
tests have to be evaluated to understand the
intrinsic “ductility” of that poor masonry.
