| 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 cause 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 | Oral exam lasting 30-45 minutes, concerning the topics covered in the lessons. The completeness of the answer, the argumentative rigor and th ownership of language will be asses. |
| 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 structu 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 safe |

| Contents | The course illustrates the most common diagnostic investigation methods for the evaluation of the structural safety of buildings. The foundations are given on the concept of measurement, on the main measurement methods of fields of physical quantities, stress, deformations, vibrations, non-contact techniques for the measurement of thermal fields, innovative sensors for research and development applications. The description of the operating principle, the critical evaluation of performance and fields of use, the selection criteria, the methods of interpretation of the experimental data obtained are given for all the instruments. |

| Extended program | Fundamentals of the concept of measurement. Application of measuring instruments in various fields and in particular in controls; concept of measurement and uncertainty; configuration of a measuring instrument; functional block diagram; examples. Characteristics of measurement chains and signal analysis. Static calibration and static characteristics of an instrument, uncertainty, sensitivity, linearity, repeatability, threshold, resolution, hysteresis, dead space, scale readability, input impedance; uncertainty in indirect measurements; elements of analysis of analog and digital signals, spectra, correlations, transfer functions; main electrical and electronic components of measuring chains for data manipulation, transmission, acquisition, processing and presentation. Displacement and deformation measurements, force measurement, systems for non-destructive diagnostics. Infrared thermography, anemometry and laser Doppler vibrometry, 3D scanner. For each physical quantity we study the samples, the static calibration modalities and the usable instruments; the description of the operating principle, the critical evaluation of performance and fields of use, the selection criteria, the methods of interpretation of the experimental data obtained are given for all the instruments |
