Investigations on Ancient Masonry Structures Using Infrared Thermography

From Flir Systems Incorporated
 

 
Most of the ancient structures in India aren't inspected to assess their condition or plan proper repair and conservation schemes due to paucity of funds. These structures are usually in brick or stone masonry, and are prone to deterioration due to moisture ingress. Thermography offers a rapid and cost effective method of investigation that does not require any contact with the structure. This paper describes the result of Investigations on some of the ancient structures in the historic city of Hyderabad, India, using infrared thermography. Every city in India abounds with ancient structures. Most of these structures are in stone or brick masonry, with lime mortar joints and plaster. They are not systematically investigated or maintained due to paucity of funds. Periodic and regular investigations are an essential aspect of developing rational and cost effective repair and renovation schemes. Since the structures are protected and have historical value, the investigations should not damage the structures in any way or leave any blemishes behind.
