Application of NDTs to the diagnosis of Historic Structures

Some typical problems solved by the combination and the complementary use of different investigation techniques such as boroscopy, radar and sonic tests, flat-jack and sonic tests, sonic and radar tomography and others will be presented. Resume On presente quelques problemes typiques concernant bâtiments historiques, resolus par l’usage de techniques d'enquete complementaires, telles que la boroscopie, les essais radar couples aux essais soniques, essais aux verins plats couples aux essais soniques, le couplage des tomographies sonique et radar, etc.
