Abstract

Building heritage of the world, and especially in the Italian territory, is characterized by a large number of ancient structures of historical and archeological interest. Preservation and restoration of these structures is a complex matter, which involves a deep understanding in different fields such as history, architecture, structural analysis. Generally, these buildings appears as agglomeration of different constructive typologies with the presence of portions composed of masonry (walls, vaults, etc.), concrete and steel. It is well-known that these structures have an high level of seismic vulnerability, with poor resistance to horizontal actions such as the seismic ones. The study of historical structures is currently an open challenge both for monitoring their health status and for developing suitable methodologies to correctly simulate their response, including realistic constitutive assumptions, focusing on the strong non-linear behavior. Moreover, the great variety of typologies of ancient structures requires case-by-case methodologies of analysis, which have to be tailored, for any case studies, by experienced researchers who can tackle the matter in an interdisciplinary way.
A research team, expert in the area of structural mechanics, will drive the main Work Packages (WPs) of the project: (i) MECHANICAL MODELLING, focusing on constituent materials and related constitutive aspects, treated using discrete or non-standard continuous multiscale approaches; (ii) NUMERICAL IMPLEMENTATION and SIMULATIONS, using advanced computational tools; (iii) NON DESTRUCTIVE TESTS and APPLICATIONS for material and geometrical characterization, with next-generation materials and devices for monitoring and control of vibrations, dissipation and damage; (iv) CASE STUDIES and REAL LIFE APPLICATIONS for investigating the mechanical behavior of buildings aiming at risk mitigation and structural reliability assessment, with particular reference to seismic safety.
