5. PROBLEM STATEMENT
 Structural design or assessment,
 Damage detection and assessment,
 Maintenance and retrofitting of existing structures, structural control during earthquakes
(using semi-active systems).
 Historic buildings, due to their structural features, construction techniques and used
materials, are particularly vulnerable to earthquake actions;
STRUCTURAL HEALTH MONITORING (SHM)
Continuous or short/medium-term controls of quantities related to the structural behavior
connected to the evaluation of their evolution with the passing of time;
2. Monitoraggio
strutturale

6. On-site testing and monitoring can be considered key activities for a conscious knowledge-
based approach in the conservation of the architectural heritage.
INVESTIGATIONS  Structural behaviour
definition (ex: validation of behavioural models)
MONITORING  Permenent structural controls
(continuous on site inspections)
