Role of the Geologists in the Process of Monuments Ashlar Masonry Repair

Abstract:

The aim of the contribution is introduce the role of the geologist in the process of the restoration of monuments ashlars masonry. Within the frame of our project, we participate on the reconstruction of battlements of the castle Kost, which were built predominantly from sandstones. These stones undergo to weathering processes and so they are damaged. Therefore, it has been necessary to restore and even change some blockstones. In cooperation with the experts from other branches, especially restorers and preservationists, the building blocks suitable for exchange were selected and the new replacement rock material was chosen. As it is obvious from the process of this reconstruction, the participation of geologists is indispensable.
