In the cultural heritage field, point clouds, as important raw data of geomatics, are not only
three-dimensional (3D) spatial presentations of 3D objects but they also have the potential …

The structural system integrity in historical masonry buildings is studied by developing the
concept of the Digital Twin. The objectives are to develop a procedure for creating an …

Featured Application HBIM models generation for managing heritage information, oriented
to preventive conservation of assets of cultural interest. Abstract This paper discusses the …

The assessment of the seismic performance of unreinforced masonry cross-vaults is still a
challenge in numerical analysis, due to complex curved geometries and bond patterns, and …

Progress monitoring is an essential part of large construction projects. As manual progress
monitoring is time-consuming, the need for automation emerges, especially as, nowadays …

Masonry domes constitute a large part of the international architectural heritage. The issue
of its conservation has long been a challenge both for architects and engineers. To limit any …

This paper presents the integration of parametric modelling with NDT (NDT) and advanced
numerical simulations for assessing the seismic response of an emblematic stone-masonry …

This paper presents the numerical evaluation of the seismic response of a masonry cross
vault using the Discrete Macro-Element Method (DMEM). The case study corresponded to a …

The rapid development of three-dimensional (3D) laser scanning technology has provided a
new technical means for the geometric accuracy evaluation of subway stations. With high …

Iron ties contribute to the stability of structural systems having vaults and arches. The axial
force in the iron ties is not easily to be measured but this knowledge is important for …
