| Abstract |
Architectural heritage is a resource and a fundamental part of the cultural European
background; it also causes concern, due to the huge investment needed to maintain it, or even to
repair it after environmental injuries. The Author is general coordinator of an Italian National
research project aimed to formulate new guidelines for structural health monitoring and survey of
historical and monumental structures. The Project programme traces a general strategy to build
maintenance related monitoring procedures, to face the problems of data uncertainties, to propose
robust approaches. This paper shows the general path traced for that project, just now at its start-up
phase, but the main attention is addressed to the robust approaches to dynamic testing and model
updating. |
