Abstract
Abstract. Geophysical methods and building diagnostics are non-destructive measurements which can inform about quality of rocks, hydrology conditions or artificial objects (tunnels, foundation of buildings, constructions etc.). Such methods are in the principle non-destructive without impact on environment or population. Hence these methods are mostly cheaper and more acceptable than drilling, travelling with heavy machines etc. Geophysical methods study physical fields and are divided as follows: Geoelectrical methods, Seismics, Gravimetry, Magnetometry, Thermometry, Radiometry. The geophysical measurements can be carried out on a surface of terrain, in boreholes (well logging) or in the air (airborne geophysics). The non-destructive building diagnostics use mostly measurements relating to the seismic, acoustic or nuclear properties. The time-lapse monitoring of administered objects by non-destructive methods can bring beneficial and fundamental source of information about actual conditions of managed objects. Presented non-destructive measurements use sophisticated technologies and respected geophysical companies follow international and domestic standards and legislation. Geophysicists are organized mainly in international associations such as EAGE (European Association of Geoscientists and Engineers) or SEG (Society of Exploration Geophysics). This paper presents typical examples of application of non-destructive methods to our practice.
Highlights
Non-destructive diagnostics methods are useful for management and monitoring of immovable property which was committed some administration to care
For example popular thermal imaging cameras are accessible, reliable and with resolution round 0.1 °C. These technology progress brings about extensive application of thermometry and this method is widely used as typical method for building diagnostic
The geophysical methods and diagnostic methods is extensively branched out profession
Summary
Non-destructive diagnostics methods are useful for management and monitoring of immovable property which was committed some administration to care. The typical nondestructive methods are geophysical methods, physical methods for civil engineering, defectoscopy, non-destructive testing (NDT) and some forensics methods. The non-destructive methods can be for example integrate on the start of developer activities when an enterpriser has not all information about plots or has not all rights to a building site. The geophysical methods and most of further diagnostic measurements have sophisticated methodology and were verified by long time practice. The non-destructive methods are ready to impartial supplement or specify absent characteristics of constructions, geology, hydrology or environment. These informations can form step by step sophisticate data bases which are usable for decision- making processes in BIM system
