Abstract
For the preservation and restoration of masonry structures, it is significantly important to evaluate their stability properly and measurement of cracks/joints along masonry walls will be useful to investigate the deformation of masonry structures. In this study, the newly developed crack/joint deformation measurement system using digital photogrammetry was applied to investigate the structural stability of the Borobudur Temple, Indonesia. In the newly developed crack/joint measurement system, a pair of reflective targets is employed at the measurement points around the cracks/joints as gauges and the digital camera image of the targets is obtained by taking photos using digital camera. Employing image processing and photogrammetry, the two dimensional displacement in local coordinates of the cracks/joints can be calculated from digital images of targets. For the site investigation and measurements in the Borobudur Temple, five different joints along the masonry wall (with high possibility for displacement) were selected and monitored. After 8 months of the monitoring, the normal displacement of about 0.6 mm was observed at two of five selected joints and groundwater will play important roles for joint displacement.
