Details
Structural investigations are all prospections and tests carried out on structural elements of pre-existing buildings, bridges, tunnels, foundation structures… They are useful to diagnose the conditions of both their structural elements (e.g. concrete, masonry, reinforcing bars) and construction materials.
Static testing
- Mechanical characterization of masonry
