The Diplomatic Hall of the Royal Palace of Naples: Structural characterization of the timber roof by in situ ND investigations

摘要

Especially in monumental buildings the preservation is compulsory for perpetuating the history of the construction technologies and of the past used materials. Therefore, the evaluation of the residual bearing capacity of existing structures is necessary, in order to detect any structural deficiency and to select proper restoration interventions. First of all a comprehensive knowledge of the structures should be acquired through in depth surveys, aiming at the structural identification.
