- Abstract:
- Numerous cases of built cultural heritage that once were submerged in freshwater reservoirs are emerging in the last years due to increasing droughts. The DAMAGE project assesses the study of the specific degradation processes that occur in the building stones of this type of heritage subjected to constant immersion and emersion cycles. A real case of a Spanish old royal site, flooded in the 1950s, has been studied through portable non-destructive techniques to evaluate the state of conservation. The results have been combined with laboratory tests and a degradation simulation to fully characterize the main materials and determine the deterioration pattern.
