ABSTRACT
As for clinical diagnosis, the current methodology is based on a preliminary characterization, also known as an anamnesis. Before any diagnosis can be offered, it is necessary a prior step that enables the later collection of all the relevant information from the rammed-earth wall, related both to its material and to its state of conservation together with any weaknesses. Once a preliminary study is completed, it is not only feasible to give a diagnosis which determines the current state of decay, but also to suggest suitable conservation repairs.
