Abstract

The conservation and utilization of masonry constructions would not be achieved without precise descriptions provided by surveys, or the information provided by the monitoring of their current state. This chapter summarizes the contents and non-destructive methods of survey and monitoring regarding curved masonry structures, including arches and vaults appearing in buildings and arch bridges belonging to infrastructure. Some applications and progress in practical engineering are introduced here, and prospects are proposed based on current engineering needs.
