Advances in the Restoration of Buildings with LIDAR Technology and 3D Reconstruction: Forged and Vaults of the Refectory of Santo Domingo de Orihuela (16th Century)

This research presents a new intervention methodology on arches and vaults of Renaissance factory in the Colegio Santo Domingo de Orihuela (16th century) using 3D software LIDAR technology that verifies execution process works studying different charges states structure behavior. document aims to explain working monitoring structural repair interventions architectural heritage, specific case replacement traditional one-way timber joist frame slabs structures former, splay groin between vaults. involves compilation processing two types data: one hand, analysis load which is exposed its phases: initial, dismantling layers construction by system; and, other graphic information provided photogrammetry techniques used dimension define spatial position elements have historically resolved covering space this type solution. The demolished materials been verified analysing their constructive disposition, thicknesses, dimensions formed part initial system own weights. In addition, systems restoration project generate state loads similar existing one. provides data studied intervention. point clouds obtained are analysed taking as reference fixed points (considered unalterable infinitely rigid) refectory coordinates final compared. results show minimal variations positions, justifies goodness methods safety complex. applied heritage architecture guarantees control recording movements produced process.
