For assessing building façades using active thermography, in case of direct solar exposure the sun itself can be used as heat source. It is shown that active thermography can be applied to large areas successfully, if a shadow cast occurs. After performing a sequence reconstruction in order to correct the temporal behaviour of shadow movement, the data could be analysed by pulse phase thermography (PPT). Compared to raw thermograms, the obtained phase images display an improved image quality with a lot of details. The frequency of the phase images is related to the probing depth. The presented case study describes the thermographic investigation of an historical building façade, where an area of 17 m x 13 m has been investigated.
The determination of water and salt distribution in brickwork and stonework is a frequent problem in cultural heritage protection. Conventional but reliable methods are usually based on the investigation of core samples and provide only punctual information. To avoid the destruction of valuable building fabric, a non-destructive approach using a combination of investigation methods is needed. A case study, demonstrating the possibilities of almost non-destructive testing methods and their combination is presented in this article.
