Wall paintings from the Islamic epoch (10th to 12th centuries) and Christian monarchy (14th 16th have been recovered in discarded materials on walls after reconstruction works Seville Alcazar. These spent centuries underground or under a plaster coat. Portable X‐ray fluorescence (XRF) combined XRF/X‐ray diffraction (XRD) were employed situ, as well scanning electron microscopy (SEM–EDX), grazing angle incidence XRD micro‐Raman spectroscopy, cross‐section samples fully characterize wall...

Abstract The color, chemical composition, and mineralogical phases of the superpositioned layers materials in architectural construction elements pond found middle “Patio de las Doncellas” Mudejar style Palace were analyzed during archaeological research on “Reales Alcazares” palace Sevilla, southern Spain. This analysis was conducted using visible spectroscopy, Fourier Transform infrared optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy coupled with an energy dispersive X‐ray analyzer,...

ABSTRACT Full identification of pigments used in wall paintings by Romans and Arabs that were recently discovered was achieved the combined application several spectroscopy methods. Identification provided use micro-Raman FT-IR spectroscopy, while UV-Visible chromatic studies permitted authors to identify slight variations hue attributed mixtures pigments. Natural earths minerals detected as main employed both civilizations, although some differences found between them. Red ochre, vermilion,...

The first stable material used to create a gilded surface was gold. False gold also found in the form of copper-zinc powders or silver covered with resin. There are various ways make leaf adhere large area. identification materials and processes gilding use non- invasive techniques for study is still an open problem. medallions from Mudejar palace Sevilla Alcazar investigated, their components were characterised using non-invasive (in situ laboratory) such as X-ray fluorescence, μ-Raman,...

This study discusses the materials and traditional knowledge used in manufacture application of lime mortars stuccoes by R omans Arabs Seville (southern Iberian Peninsula). All samples studied contain calcite as a binder, combined with aggregates based on river sand from filling Guadalquivir River's depression, located vicinity Real Alcazar Palace Seville, S pain, where artefacts were discovered. The high‐quality production technology, evidenced careful selection raw well adequate...

Abstract. Historic Building Information Modelling (HBIM) has become the ideal tool for professionals studying building conservation and restoration. The BIM model allows one to identify structural deformations following three-dimensionally resolved models. In addition, this methodology is specifically designed register parametric construction models, as an information manager by adding semantic components model, including on different transformations of historical artefact, allowing...

This study focused on the degradation processes for two historic buildings, one in a rural and an urban environment. Samples collected from Romanesque Church of Torme areas Cathedral Burgos were studied by using optical electron microscopy, x-ray spectrometry, diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy thermal analysis (TG/DTA/DTG). As result action microorganisms, weddellite whewellite found to have formed over entire external walls Torme, built with dolomitic rock. Gypsum,...

Abstract The Alcazar Palace (Seville, Spain) is famous for its ceramic decorations; 16th century wall tiles of different typologies have been analyzed in order to relate the manufacturing process their colored glazes evolving technologies Renaissance. Chemical and mineralogical compositions determined situ by nondestructive X‐ray fluorescence diffraction on arista ceramics Cenador de Carlos Quinto , majolica Palacio Gotico Royal oratory. style belongs local Hispano‐Moresque tradition....

The present article describes a chemical and physical study of the colour, composition mineral phases decorative materials in Seville City Hall Chapter House ceiling. findings showed that inner most layer material, calcite, was covered with white lead, turn concealed under gilded bole. ceiling underwent re-gilding, also over bole, due all likelihood to wear on original gold leaf. In nineteenth century, entire exception inscriptions whitewashed calcite lead. Silver employed King John I’s...

The aqueduct of the Caños de Carmona was in operation from 1172 until its demolition 1912.Its infrastructure an essential resource to supply water city Seville. This study attempts analyse and distribution system used Modern Age. research is focused mainly on obtaining Santa Lucia spring 19 km Alcala Guadaira, route through aqueduct, division for between different users general partition ark subsequent final destinations. aims develop a hypothesis about principles estimate percentage going...
