Country-scale InSAR monitoring for settlement and uplift damage calculation in architectural heritage structures

1 July 2020

The article outlines a methodology using Interferometry Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) data to assess building damage caused by differential settlement and uplift. This wide-reaching approach can assess damage across different regions and building types, extending beyond the usual tunneling-induced ground movement assessments to include various factors such as soil consolidation and water table fluctuations. Designed to enhance patrimonial building databases, it utilizes ground movement data alongside analytical models for damage classification. Applied to Belgium’s heritage buildings, it offers a new way to evaluate and correlate damage over decades with onsite
