This paper describes a methodology for the documentation and analysis of historical buildings. Techniques of digital image processing give the possibility to detect damages, such as moisture or biological changes, on surfaces of monuments. Intensity data obtained from laser scanner equipment and colour information gathered with a digital camera were evaluated for damage identification that affe...

According to Iranian code of practice for seismic resistant design of buildings standard No. 2800, Yazd is located in the place with the medium earthquake hazard [1]. Due to the position of Yazd with many historical and important buildings, maintaining these traditional heritages is an important task in civil engineering field. On account of these mentioned valuable buildings and region potenti...

With the classical deformation measurement the objects are modeled by a number of measurement points which are distributed according to the deformation symmetrically as a grid or attached at selected principal points of movement. The measurement points can be determined with a total station (angle and distance measurements) to a high precision with a standard deviation of the 3D position of ±1....

The main purpose of this paper is to present the use super thermal insulation materials for a historical building through calculation-based case study. development based on objective making buildings as energy efficient possible, and loss should be kept minimum, both new existing buildings. For purpose, used so far have not always achieved maximum effectiveness. In buildings, it particularly di...

The potential of Second Life as a teaching/learning platform was explored in the context of a multidisciplinary and international project spanning several courses. In less than three months students were able to achieve high quality recreations of historical buildings, learning about history, multimedia production and 3D modeling in virtual worlds in the process.
