Abstract: | We investigate the problem of internal fracturing of the columns of a building of cultural importance (the Crypt of the “Cattedrale di Otranto”, Apulia, Italy), using a multi-disciplinary approach, integrating different non-destructive techniques (Microclimatic and Geophysical). In fact historic buildings, over centuries, may accumulate a high concentration of water and/or moisture that increases significantly the deterioration rate, diminishing the mechanical resistance. |
