Contents Diagnostic process in the path from the expression of static instability, to
the determination of the causes that led to failure. Works to ensure pre-earthquake and post-earthquake safety.
Brief notes to the strengthening and restoration of historical building and
monumental heritage
Reference texts Mastrodicasa Sisto - Dissesti statici delle strutture edilizie – Ed. Hoepli
Theaching material is available online su unistudium: for example the
slides that the teacher uses during the lessons.
Educational objectives To provide the tools needed to trace the causes that have caused
damage in building structures, through a diagnostic procedure. Ability to
evaluate possible intervention strategies.
Prerequisites Basic knowledge on structures, as mechanical testing of materials and
monitoring with particular reference to the characterization of masonry,
are required
Teaching methods Lessons in classroom and educational visits on site for cases of study and
on laboratory.
Other information Students with disabilities and/or with DSA, can contact the teacher of this
course directly because she is the reference for disability and DSA in
Engineering Department.
Learning verification modality Learning verification
modality
Oral exam lasting 30-45 minutes, concerning the topics covered in the
lessons.
The completeness of the answer, the argumentative rigor and the
ownership of language will be assessed.
Extended program Extended program Diagnostic process in the path from the manifestation of static damages,
to the determination of the perturbative causes which produced such
damage. Key events of static and dynamic instability. Typical damage
pattern of masonry structures: foundation failure, crushing, flexion,
pushing and seismic action, depression of horizontal structures.
Engineering approach to the study of damage to masonry structures.
Diagnostic process in the path from the expression of static instability, to
the determination of the causes that led to these failures. Works to ensure pre-earthquake and post-earthquake safety.

Learning activities Affine/integrativa
Area Attività formative affini o integrative
Sector ICAR/19
Type of study-unit Obbligatorio (Required)
Language of instruction Italian
Contents Introduction to the knowledge of ancient and modern materials, identification and different uses of them in architecture. Structural conception and construction techniques in their historical development.
Educational objectives The course is aimed at providing the necessary knowledge to operate competently in the protection and restoration of the architectural heritage. In particular, the course focuses on providing the conceptual tools, the general framework of the methodological problems and of the technical-scientific means, which are useful in the disciplinary and interdisciplinary knowledge to approach historical buildings.
