Abstract

The localization of structural anomalies in timber structures by a robust, reliable and an user friendly system are the objects of this research activity. In this contribution, authors present some results of the activity and they highlight the potentiality of this technique and its applications. The potentiality of the system as diagnostic tool based on non-destructive techniques are certainly useful for the framework of Cultural Heritage, such as others frameworks of the building industry.
