This article gives a historical overview of the life of iron or steel train shed structures and questions what makes them authentic, discussing the validity of some of the restoration choices made since the 20th century regarding heritage preservation. First, the specificities of this architectural heritage are highlighted and compared with other countries and other types of construction. Then, based on extensive archive material held by the French national railway company SNCF, the modifications the metallic structures underwent as restoration projects were carried out are analysed. It appears that the restoration practices significantly evolved between the 1970s-1980s and the beginning of the 21st century, becoming more sensitive to heritage preservation. However, choices regarding roofing materials have an impact on the loading of the structure, while structural interventions change the appearance and the load distribution. This enhances the need to include considerations regarding the preservation of the structure in the early stages of restoration projects.KEYWORDS: 19th centuryFrancemild steelrestorationroof loadsroofing materialsstrengthening measurestrain shedwrought iron AcknowledgmentsThis research project was part of a PhD funded by AREP, subsidiary of SNCF, and the French Association for Research and Technology (ANRT).

Virtual models obtained from LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) data in real-time applications can be inspected in graphic engines without rendering a point cloud. Well-known proprietary software is used to convert scanning from LiDAR into meshes of triangles that work the best on graphic pipelines. However proprietary software is usually expensive, hard to learn, and requires manual interaction. The proposed methodology generates virtual models from LiDAR with little manual interaction employing open-source software in an automated workflow for generic conversion. The point cloud is registered for geo-reference, processed for building textured models, and implemented in Unreal Engine 5 for Virtual Reality deployment. Specific improvements were made to the selected study case of the Castro of Santa Trega. Visualization of the model is overall more realistic than the rendering of every point in a cloud. The average framerate is improved upon a 229% when rendering optimized meshes compared to point clouds, leading to an enriched visualization quality and reduced data size. A Virtual Reality (VR) experience was implemented with an average of 143 FPS, surpassing the standard 90 FPS recommended to avoid motion sickness.KEYWORDS: Computer graphicscomputer visionheritagelidarpoint cloud processing AcknowledgmentsThis research has received funding from Xunta de Galicia through human resources grant (ED481D-2023-005) and competitive reference group (ED431C 2020/01) and from the Government of Spain through project “Software multi-capa para el procesamiento online de datos lidar enfocado a la monitorización del transporte” with reference PDC2022-133851-I00 funded by MCIN/AEI/10.13039/501100011033, and from the European Union’s “NextGenerationEU”/PRTR”.

Over a span of 47 months, a comprehensive approach encompassing numerical simulation, plume analysis, particle examination, three-dimensional scanning, and photo monitoring was employed to continuously monitor the patterns of wind-blown sand movement and the degradation of test walls. The study identifies six distinct zones extending from five times the windward side to ten times the leeward side of the test wall’s height. Notably, a negative correlation between captured particle mass and the height of the sand traps is observed, with 70% of particles concentrated within 50 cm from the base of the test wall. Three primary erosion mechanisms for wind-blown sand are elucidated, including frontal impact, side abrasion, and reverse sapping. Furthermore, the study highlights pronounced erosion at the base of the wall due to vortex flow, with depth erosion affecting the lower, side, and upper sections of the test walls. This paper delves into the erosion mechanisms and operational models of wind-blown sand flow surrounding discontinuous site walls, offering valuable insights for the conservation of ancient earthen sites.KEYWORDS: Ancient earthen siteserosion modelerosion ratewind-blown sand AcknowledgmentsWe would like to thank F.

One of the earthen heritages in Algeria is taken as a case study, and various adobe mixes were examined to attain this objective. The outcomes revealed that stabilization overall improved the properties of adobes, unlike the mutable impact of fibers. Stabilizers played an important role in reducing creep, while fibers reduced the creep of the unstabilized adobes and those with 6%PC-3%QL, but withdrew the positive effect that was offered by binders for adobes with 10%QL and 3%PC-6%QL. Water absorption and swelling were reduced by stabilization, but both increased with the presence of fibers.

Understanding the historical context and details of the production of ancient Roman concrete (ARC) is necessary to comprehend its nature. Recently, the interest in researching ARC has grown considerably, leading to several projects to describe its production. Remarkable properties were attributed to ARC, with durability emerging as one of the most relevant but also the most misunderstood. The reasons for the durability of Roman structures are still under investigation, and various hypotheses have linked its durability to the microstructure, or its chemical and mineralogical composition. In this literature review, historical facts contextualize ARC and detail the specific materials and methods used for production. It also becomes clear that the chemical, mineralogical, and mechanical characterization of ARC has begun to link research from different disciplines, providing an overview of this material, and exploring some of the unexplained facts that could potentially improve today’s concrete technology.KEYWORDS: Ancient Romeconcretedurabilitymicrostructurepozzolanic mortars AcknowledgmentsThe authors thank Prof. Dr.-Ing.

It involves the evaluation of potential pathological situations, the understanding of the origin of displacements and deformations, and the assessment of the state of conservation of building materials. Destructive and minor destructive techniques are mostly prevented from being used in the context of historical constructions and the complementary use of non-destructive techniques is often the only viable solution. This paper addresses the possibility of employing point clouds, widely used for representation aims, as a source of information to identify the deterioration patterns that can affect construction safety. The proposed methodology includes two approaches following a perspective based on simple and recurring elements that form the complex and unique shape of historical buildings. The geometry of structural elements guides the choice towards the computation either of the Z-coordinate of each point of the cloud or the Euclidean distance between the point cloud and an elementary non-deformed geometry fitted to it. By investigating several case studies and diverse deterioration patterns, the proposal establishes a framework to employ point clouds, together with other techniques, as an effective tool to support the diagnosis of heritage structures.KEYWORDS: Built cultural heritageconservationmasonry structuresnon-destructive techniques (NDTs)point cloudstructural diagnosis AcknowledgmentsThe authors wish to acknowledge Lorenzo Rossi and Francesca Gaglio for their preliminary work on the case studies, as well as Massimiliano Martino, Francesco Laccone, and Marco Callieri for their expert suggestions on some specific aspects of the methodological framework.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).","PeriodicalId":13783,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Architectural Heritage","volume":"114 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135579985","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper presents the first segmentation of large-scale surveys of historic masonry using machine learning, using the thirteenth-century Basilica of St Anthony (Padua, Italy) as a case study. Based on a drone survey of the north façade of the building (110 × 70 m), a state-of-the-art non-learning segmentation approach is described and its limitations for historical structures are illustrated. Then, a new workflow based on convolutional neural networks (CNN) is presented. The result is a precise mapping of about 300,000 individual bricks showing a large variety of formats and bonds. The automatic surveys are analysed using visual programming language (VPL), enabling a rapid and feature-based identification of building phases and repair interventions.
