Abstract

On site measurements of historically accumulated paint layers on the kiosk of Guadalajara were taken using a terahertz time-domain spectrometer. Sub-surface air gaps produced by delamination were found on various regions of the structure. The occurrence of the air gaps correlates with the position in the structure, being more frequent on the southeastern side.
