Inspection of the Church of San Biagio near Siena, Italy

The

Church of S. Biagio was built near the city of Siena by Antonio da Sangallo during the 15th century.
The international team of Italian, American, and Russian scientists conducted an inspection of the floor in the Church of S. Biagio.
Aim of this experiment was to search for hidden cavities underneath the floor by using commercial GPRs – RASCAN and GSSI radars.

The investigation on the Croce di San Marco with Rascan 4/4000

Description

of the cross
The Cross of San Marco dates back to the mid-fourteenth century and is attributed to Puccio di Simone.
The work can be considered one of the greatest of Florentine painting: it reaches a total height of 6.30 meters. The plank is made up of a vertical part, the upright of a cross, and a horizontal part, the arm, which are joined together by a joint between wood.
The thickness of the poplar planks is 7 cm and the entire support, including the crosspieces, reaches a thickness of about 25 cm for a total weight estimated at around 500 kg.

Scans
For this first phase of measurements it was decided to scan three areas that cover the areas of the supporting infrastructure and the area of the relief insert for the aureole.
The work was protected with a green cloth supporting a plexiglass sheet provided with numbered scan lines. If necessary, the plexiglass plate was blocked by pressing it with a wooden vice.

Слайд 13

First scanning area
The first scanning area is positioned vertically along the

trunk of the image of Christ.
In the images relating to the three intermediate frequencies of the CROSS polarization the metal nails are clearly visible, which are used to hold the structural parts of the wooden cross together.
Always in CROSS polarization the image relative to the frequency of 3.7GHz shows in a particularly clear way the contrast between the area laminated in gold and the area painted on wood. In this image is clearly visible a puff placed at the blood sketch on the side.

Second scanning area
The second scan area was placed horizontally, at the top of the cross just below the halo.
Also in this scan the images of the fixing nails are confirmed, this time better visible in the images related to the PARALLEL polarization. Note that this scan is done in an orthogonal direction with respect to the previous one.
At the three higher frequencies, both in CROSS polarization and in PARALLEL polarization, numerous striations are visible, compatible with the flaming of the underlying wood.

Third scanning area
The third scan area is still positioned vertically but narrower than the first area to rise above the halo area.

Spurt of blood.
One of the peculiarities that emerged during the survey

is the presence in the radar images of a shape that follows the sketch of blood coming from the wound on the rib.
The presence of this trace was unexpected on the area painted on the golden plate. In fact, it is not plausible that a dielectric layer with a thickness of less than one tenth of a millimeter can modify the module or phase of the reflected wave.
To corroborate this hypothesis, a specimen has been made with gold foil partially covered by a layer of minio. In this case, as expected, the measurement carried out above the minio layer is not distinguishable from that made above the gold foil without minio.
The hypothesis that seems to be more plausible is that the paint used for the san-gue sketch contains metallic elements, and therefore can be assimilated to a non-perfect conductor. In this case, the electric field would be only partially canceled, thus resulting in a variation of phase different from 180 °, from which the image above.
This second hypothesis is confirmed by the analyzes carried out previously by the Opificio delle Pietre Dure of Florence, which highlight the significant presence of lead in the paint of the blood sketch.
Lead was used at the time of processing to make the color white, here used to represent water mixed with blood that comes from the side of Christ.

Three dry pine boards with internal termite damage inferred

from visible tunnels on edges. RASCAN (middle) and IRT (bottom) anomalies show remarkable coincidence, and confirm that the damage visible on edges extends into planks. Planks and images are 25cm wide, variable length. IRT images span 3.9oC.

In St. Petersburg, the famous Senate building, which was built by

Italian architect Carlo di Giovanni Rossi in 1829–1834, had been under reconstruction and parquet had to be laid. Heating pipes, electricity and communication wires were laid under floor of the building. Their location was not documented. According to the technology, before the laying of the parquet on the concrete floor, plywood sheets should be nailed to its surface. But this could not be done because of fear to damage the pipes and other communications. Our laboratory was asked to search location of the pipes and communications.

CONCLUSION

Holographic subsurface radar technology is not universal one. However in some

cases it can be useful and unique in obtained results.
It gives opportunity to record images of objects’ internal structures at one-side access to them.
In this quality RASCAN radars differ from X-ray devices that need two-side access to the structure under consideration. Two-side access is impossible in the most cases.
