Descrição
Resumo:In the present paper a solution is developed to deal with timber in old buildings, moderately degraded by rot fungi and although not fully sound, have enough load-bearing capacity and should be maintained. The solution involves traditional methodologies used in the area of conservation and restoration of wooden artworks and is especially relevant to timbers in heritage buildings. It consists in the sequential application of a biocide product and a consolidant by impregnation. The efficiency of the proposed solution is tested with destructive and non-destructive laboratory and in situ tests.
