Experimental Study of Micro-Cracks in Laboratory and In Situ Using Infrared Thermography

Article Preview

Abstract:

Non-destructive techniques are essential to detect common pathologies and analyse the building behaviour. Infrared thermography is a testing technology that has been applied to buildings diagnosis for some decades. However, there are still some applications which are not yet completely explored like the detection of micro-cracks on façade coating materials.
