Assessment of Wooden Beams from Historical Buildings Using Ultrasonic Transmission Tomography

Abstract

The main goal of this study was non-destructive evaluation of wooden elements using ultrasonic waves. The inspection was carried out on wooden beams from a historical object. Elastic wave signals were processed by ultrasonic transmission tomography to obtain imaging of the internal structure of tested elements without disturbing their state and integrity. The focus was on the influence of wood anisotropy on the propagation of ultrasonic waves. A novel method of determining the position of the cross-section pith was proposed. The study presented that the proposed imaging approach was capable to assess the technical condition of historic wooden beams by determining the degree of wood damage and the location of discontinuities, scratches or fibrosis in the tested cross-section.
