12: 40 Testing and Monitoring Building Envelope
Martin Gerskup
Standard, non-destructive testing and monitoring of
building envelopes will be discussed encompassing
the techniques and advantages of ground penetrating
radar and impact-echo to evaluate envelope
conditions including:
Standard tests
* Testing brick mortar in the field
* Testing vapour pressure in the field
NDT tests
* General principles of ground penetrating radar
* General principles and uses of impact-echo testing
* Comparison of the two NDT methods using case histories
- evaluating the presence of cracking in stone masonry
- evaluating the presence of voids in solid masonry units
- evaluating the internal deterioration of historical masonry
Monitoring buildings including:
*stress
*crack and building envelope movement-methods and accuracies
*moisture-methods and accuracies
