Investigation on structures and materials of the Castle of Avio (Trento, Italy)

摘要

This paper presents and discusses the preliminary results of the investigations carried out by the authors on a Castle, considered as case histories within a project financed by the EC (project EVK4-2001-00091 ONSITEFORMASONRY), coordinated by C. Maierhofer of BAM. An extensive investigation programme (including sonic, radar, thermovision, flat jack, coring, boroscopy, etc.) has been planned to support the preservation and restoration actions of the Castles. The experience shows the importance of a project for the investigation in order to select the most relevant strategies and tests for each specific problem.
