This paper performed a systematic review of the various machine learning (ML) techniques
applied to assess the health condition of heritage buildings. More robust predictive models …

Moisture dynamics in brick, stone and concrete has a controlling influence on the durability
and performance of the built environment. Water Transport in Brick, Stone and Concrete …

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of high temperature and identify important
changes that occur when selected building stones (six french limestones and a sandstone) …

Many natural building stones are altered when subjected to freeze-thaw (FT) cycles. On the
one hand, the sensitivity of a material to FT damage has been quantified in the past by the …

Abstract The Notre-Dame de Paris cathedral was built in the 12th century with Lutetian
limestone from several quarries in the Paris basin, and was renovated several times. The …

The present research studies the mechanical properties of rocks from a civil engineering
point of view, taking particular interest in the preservation of architectural heritage. It deals …

Freeze-thaw cycles are important in the weathering behaviour of natural building stones in
humid, cold to temperate climates. It is expected that the elevated air temperatures in urban …

The research aims at investigating the temperature dependency of important properties of
construction limestones, in the temperature range that could be reached during fires (200 …

Water affects the susceptibility of stone to alteration by facilitating physical, chemical and
biological weathering. Stone properties determine water transport and retention, but it is also …

The port, fortresses, and monuments of Cartagena were included in the UNESCO World
