Masonry diagnostics

If masonry shall be repaired in a sustainable manner, the condition of the masonry, respectively of the entire structure, must be ascertained as exactly as possible. For this purpose the extent of damage is assessed (anamneses) and an examination plan is set up. Examinations can be made regarding e.g. materials, damaging substances, load bearing capacity, foundation/subsoil, etc. Based on the analysis of the examination results (diagnoses), the required reconstruction measures can be determined.
