Given their high cultural value, historic buildings play an important role for societies, so their conservation and preservation are the focus of several studies. From the Civil Engineering perspective, they represent a great challenge, as they show great constructive variability and refined care treatment regarding the application of tests, since these buildings have high historical value. In this context, non-destructive techniques appear as a tool for analyzing those structures in need of differentiated care. The ultrasound test, in particular, has been gaining prominence in the area due to its low cost and ease of reapplication. To better understand the scientific scenario, the present work aims to carry out a systematic review of the literature in the main databases to learn how to interpret ultrasonic data in solid masonry. It was found that the study of ultrasound application on masonry has increased in recent years, but not in regard to the use of statistical models for data interpretation, for which the amount of published works is still relatively low. Thus, a gap in literature was noticed, opening the space for the development of new research.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
