Preservation Process• Anamnesis:
– Description and documentation of building, context (environment) – Description of building history and context– Documentation (of surveys)– Building survey, state of conservation, state of structural decay,
structural investigation, using: visual inspection, NDT, semi-or least DT, …
• Analysis:– Structural analysis model (idealized)
• Diagnosis:– Assessment of structural integrity and its load-bearing capacity– Monitoring as part of the diagnosis
• Therapy:– Plan and choices for (non-)intervention– Motivation of choices, with attention towards durability of the solution.– Execution, including control on site during execution
• Control:– Maintenance plan– Monitoring

3D-laserscanning – supporting structural assessment
• Calipous Limit Analysis: computer program– Analyses the stability of arches of complex geometry– Subjected to external loads or movement of abutments
• Calculates:– Thrustline passing through 3 given points;– Extreme (minimum and maximum) thrustlines;– Average (minimizing sum of squares of excentricities) thrustlines.

Acoustic Emission Measurements (AE)
• “listening” to the appearance of cracks• detection of high-frequent energy waves (250-700 kHz)• possible “online-monitoring” of damage-accumulation in masonry
1 2 3
Stress increase
3 NDT-identification of phases, within creep failure:
1. Decreasing damage rate
2. Constant slope
3. Increasing damage rate
AE during creep tests – test results
Geo-electrical measurements
The measurements construct a pseudo-section, which is the graphical representation of the apparent resistivity values for a 2D-section of the masonry wall

Case study: maagdentoren Zichem (B)
• Dipole-dipole electrode configuration: one-sided
approach Notice the historic location of the defense platforms
13
Case study: maagdentoren Zichem (B)• outer leaf (40 cm) of heavily deteriorated ferruginous sandstone
• heavily deteriorated for 50 cm behind the outer leaf (rainfall)
• location of historic defense platforms: less degradation
• injection with hydraulic grout is necessary
Statements1. Efforts should be done to adapt technologies that exist in others
fields to be effective for monitoring and preventive conservation: YES - NO?
2. Research based on principles of preventive conservation and of monitoring should clarify the requirements requested from technologies so they can be effective for conservation and monitoring; it should be avoided that technology driven research uses heritage for its own sake. YES - NO?
3. Improvement made in electronics should contribute to developing more accessible monitoring and non-destructive techniques. YES - NO?
