“…This conclusion provides helpful guidance for eliminating the harmful effects of water condensation. With increasing research, the number of studies on the mechanism of seepage defects has increased [34][35][36][37][38][39][40], and an increasing number of conservation measures for cultural relics have been proposed [41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48]. These arguments are important for subsequent research and prevention of water condensation in stone cultural relics, but there is still a lack of relevant research focused on assessing the risk of water vapor condensation on the surface of stone artifacts.…”

Temperature and humidity variations in burial stone relics can easily cause water vapor condensation, which is an important factor leading to their deterioration. However, the water vapor condensation mechanism and the evaluation of risk ratings have always been difficult problems in the protection of cultural relics. In this study, the water vapor condensation mechanism in Yang Can's tomb was comprehensively investigated through on-site monitoring, indoor experiments and software simulations, on the basis of which a physical model of water vapor condensation in this tomb was established and a water vapor condensation risk rating assessment method was proposed. The proposed method considers the difference between the dew point and wall temperatures within the tomb (dew–wall temperature difference) and the duration of water vapor condensation, and corresponding preventive and control measures were formulated for different risk ratings. The study revealed that when the wall temperature of the chamber is lower than the dew point temperature, water vapor starts to condense. The larger the dew–wall temperature difference is, the greater the risk of condensation. In addition, specific water vapor condensation prevention and control measures were proposed for Yang Can's tomb, and the prevention and control effects were simulated. The simulation results showed that favorable prevention and control effects could be achieved, and the proposed measures could be applied in practice. This study holds notable significance for investigating the water vapor condensation mechanism and evaluating the risk ratings of burial stone relics and provides a theoretical basis and reference for water vapor condensation prevention and control in burial stone relics.

A methodology for risk assessment has been developed, considering the main features of the archaeological site of Shobak Castle within the framework of AICS activities in Jordan. The site, as of the survey date, being an archaeological built environment, exhibits characteristics of a deteriorated urban setting with multiple needs and criticalities. Some areas have been subjected to archaeological excavation, temporary construction works, and subsequent surveys. To plan the rehabilitation works to be carried out by the University of Florence and to establish priorities for long-term management by the Department of Antiquities of Jordan, a comprehensive analysis of the entire Shobak Castle site was conducted. This analysis assessed different levels of risk, both for people and buildings, in accordance with the principles outlined in the Italian Consolidated Act on Safety (Legislative Decree no. 81 of April 9, 2008, and subsequent amendments). The results of this work, which have been documented in various worksheets, are summarized in the risk matrix and a series of safety maps presented herein.

Trabzon Hagia Sophia Mosque symbolizes significant cultural heritage with its historical diversity and distinctive architectural features. Today, this building is remarkable for its cultural transformation and historical layers. The study aims to address the transformation processes of the Hagia Sophia Mosque in the light of international conservation criteria, to understand the history of the building and to reveal the digital perspectives of this historical place. The study comprises a four-stage process: (1) investigating the building’s history through a literature review, (2) obtaining visual and technical data through fieldwork, (3) conducting a transformation analysis and generating a three-dimensional measured model, and (4) providing evaluations and recommendations on the building’s transformation and digital modeling in alignment with conservation criteria. The digital model of the building as a result of the study will be part of the preservation of such an important piece of cultural heritage for future generations. The study emphasizes the need for more effective integration of digital modeling techniques in conservation and documentation studies, extending from Hagia Sophia to various cultural heritage sites.
