Nondestructive Techniques for the Assessment and Preservation of Historic Structures cover

New technologies play an increasingly important role in the analysis, monitoring, restoration, and preservation of historic structures. These technological systems continue to get more advanced and complex, for example: 3D digital construction and documentation programming, 3D imaging data (including laser scanning and photogrammetry), multispectral and thermographic imaging, geophysical data, etc. This book will present the latest nondestructive technologies used in the characterization, preservation, and structural health monitoring of historic buildings. It will include numerous case studies, as well as theoretical explanations about each of the methods and technologies used in each.

"This book provides interesting subjects on non-destructive assessment techniques. New methodologies are presented and very well discussed. The manuscript is clear and objective making the understanding a very simple task."
— Francisco Carvalho de Arruda Coelho, Universidade Estadual Vale do Acaraú, Sobral, Brazil

"The major strength of the book is the presentation of real field practical case studies throughout that explains the techniques utilized in each."
—Jagat Kumar Shrestha, Tribhuvan University, Kirtipur, Nepal
