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 disability e/o DSA, can contact Prof.ssa Elisabetta Zanetti, that is the Referent for the Department of Ingegneria.
Learning verification modality 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.
Extended program xtended 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
