This paper investigates whether it is possible to identify the influence of soil conditions on th...e modal parameters of the structure for damage detection and overall structural health monitoring. To do so, the data gathered on a large monumental building damaged by differ-ential settlements are analyzed.

: In the present paper, the acoustic emission (AE) device is used with an innovative approach, based on the calculation of P-wave propagation velocity (vp), to detect the stiffness characteristics and the diffused damage of in-service old concrete structures. The paper presents the result of a recent testing campaign carried out on the slant pillars composing the vertical bearing structures designed by Pier Luigi Nervi in one of his most iconic buildings: the Hall B of Torino Esposizioni.
