Floods often occur in Italy and inundate masonry buildings. Within the frame of the CHEF Contract, a flood was simulated by adding water to the full-scale salt contaminated model walls for a period of several days. The aim was to evaluate with ND techniques the evolution of the decay after the introduction of uncontaminated new water, simulating a flood. Radar, thermography, sonic tests as well as powder drilling tests were applied to evaluate the moisture distribution in the masonry, after flooding and after natural drying both on treated and non treated walls.

Abstract

Floods often occur in Italy and inundate masonry buildings. Within the frame of the CHEF Contract, a flood was simulated by adding water to the full-scale salt contaminated model walls for a period of several days. The aim was to evaluate with ND techniques the evolution of the decay after the introduction of uncontaminated new water, simulating a flood. Radar, thermography, sonic tests as well as powder drilling tests were applied to evaluate the moisture distribution in the masonry, after flooding and after natural drying both on treated and non treated walls.
