Moisture Damage in Ancient Masonry: A Multidisciplinary Approach for In Situ Diagnostics

San Nicola in Carcere, one of the minor basilicas historical center Rome, was location a wide investigation campaign water-related deterioration causes, present lower sector apse and adjacent pillars, affected by water infiltrations, mould salt efflorescence. The results obtained identify presence content related effects mainly on sides apsidal wall. This work focuses use five Non-Destructive Techniques (NDT) intends to show gains integrating widely interdisciplinary methods, namely Infrared Thermography (IRT), Unilateral Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (Unilateral NMR), Acoustic Tomography (AT), Imaging (AI) Laser-Induced Fluorescence (LIF). All techniques contribute rapid, non-invasive early identification moisture distribution, while some them (LIF AI) also address determination effects. integrated different helps take multidisciplinary point view necessary formulate an effective restoration intervention based sound scientific rationale; nonetheless, it allows experiment holistic approach, verifying potential range NDTs available within context yard.
