The regions of Minho and Douro have the highest concentration of examples. The use of Heritage Building Information Modelling (HBIM) tools now facilitates their protection, conservation, and promotion. This study presents the Romanesque church of S. João de Calvos (Guimarães, Portugal), which contains a wealth of architectural, historical, and technical-scientific information, recovered using different analysis tools applied to the study of its architecture and construction materials. A complete set of archaeological and physicochemical data on the materials was integrated into a Heritage Building Information Modelling model capable of managing geometric and non-geometric information. This is a pilot study for future initiatives, such as the “Route of the Romanesque” (Rota do Românico), incorporating the information into a municipal Heritage Building Information Modelling database for different purposes. 2025-08-31T23:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/10174/42176 Title: Natural stones in construction: Global issues and practical strategies Authors: LIsci, Carla; Sitzia, Fabio; Mirao, Josè Abstract: Natural stones in construction: why does It matters? •Functionality, longevity,aesthetic, and economic value Global issues: ➢ Environmental exposure ➢ Poor material selection according to the destination use ➢ Reduction of thickness sand non-functional geometries ➢ Design & installation flaws 2025-05-31T23:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/10174/42175 Title: Digitalization of quarrying process and environmental parameters Authors: Dessena, Antonio; Careddu, Nicola; Sitzia, Fabio; Pandolfi, Orlando; Pia, Luca; Santoro, Nicola Abstract: Marble quarries are important challenges for mining engineers and quarry workers The stone quarry is a complex and interconnected system. The main challenges concern the study of the deposit, the stability and monitoring of quarry faces, safety management, environmental management, production management, the analysis of the territorial context, and market research. 2025-05-31T23:00:00Z http://hdl.handle.net/10174/42172 Title: WP3 divulgation day at @UÉvora Authors: Sitzia, Fabio Abstract: WP3 divulgation day at @UÉvora 2025-02-01T00:00:00Z
