Manipulation and Analysis

23
GIS manipulation and analysis functions are vital for decision-making and planning. These activities range from data retrieval tasks, such as selecting information based on specific criteria, to advanced analytical techniques that address complex spatial problems.One critical GIS analysis method is overlaying, which combines multiple data layers to examine impacts. For example, overlaying a river-dammed lake boundary with road networks can identify affected infrastructure. Another common...

Selected Data About Geographic Locations

27
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) rely on two core types of data: spatial data and attribute data.Spatial DataSpatial data defines the physical location of features within a coordinate system, typically expressed in terms of latitude and longitude. It provides precise positioning for elements like roads, rivers, or buildings.Attribute DataAttribute data complements spatial data by adding descriptive information about these features. For example, a road's spatial data includes its start and...

Levels of Use of a GIS

49
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) operate across three levels of application, each representing an increasing degree of complexity: data management, analysis, and prediction. These levels reflect the expanding functionality and versatility of GIS technology in handling spatial data for diverse purposes.Data ManagementAt its foundational level, GIS serves as a tool for data management, enabling the input, storage, retrieval, and organization of spatial data. This level is often employed in...

Thematic Layering in GIS

In the past, planning projects such as schools or public facilities required extensive manual effort to gather and compile data. Information such as property boundaries, soil characteristics, road networks, zoning regulations, and flood zones had to be sourced individually from courthouses, utility providers, and registry offices. Assembling these datasets into a coherent format often took several months, delaying project timelines.The introduction of Geographic Information Systems (GIS)...

Summary

Salt decay in architectural heritage is anisotropic, with south-facing walls showing lower mechanical soundness. Overheating on these sides accelerates salt crystallization, impacting building integrity.

Area of Science:

  • Heritage Conservation Science
  • Material Science
  • Geoinformatics

Background:

  • Architectural heritage conservation requires understanding structural/material characteristics and using information systems.
  • Photogrammetry and GIS enable detailed, geo-referenced Digital Elevation Models with material data layers.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present mechanical characterization and salt decay forms of the Santa María de Bonaval monastery apse.
  • To map and combine material properties to derive a mechanical soundness index (MSI).
  • To determine if wall decay is dependent on orientation.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized photogrammetry for Digital Elevation Models and GIS for data integration.
  • Conducted on-site nondestructive testing (ultrasound pulse velocity, Leeb hardness) for rock strength.
  • Employed map algebra to combine data and derive the MSI.

Main Results:

  • Salt decay was found to be anisotropic, with the south-facing apse side showing a lower MSI.
  • Relative overheating of the south-facing side enhances salt crystallization effects.
  • Phase transitions between epsomite and hexahydrite were promoted by enhanced salt crystallization.

Conclusions:

  • The orientation and thermal conditions significantly influence salt decay patterns in stone heritage.
  • Integrated photogrammetry and GIS with in-situ testing provide effective tools for heritage material assessment.
  • Anisotropic salt decay necessitates tailored conservation strategies for different building orientations.
