Discussion on data recorded by the Italian structural seismic monitoring network on three masonry structures hit by the 2016-2017 Central Italy earthquake
This paper presents an overview of the research activities developed in the framework of the ReLU...IS project founded by Department of Civil Protection (DPC) in 2017 and 2018 and focused to analyze some experimental accelerations made available by the Osservatorio Sismico delle Strutture (OSS), an Italian network of permanent seismic monitoring systems

The role of Structural Health Monitoring in the seismic protection of monumental structures: the virtual lab of the Sanctuary of Vicoforte
Novel approaches to the seismic protection of historical masonry domes need to be conceived, tail...ored and validated on virtual models that accurately reproduce their dynamic behaviour, this requiring numerous, detailed and reliable information about the structure under analysis. The wide range of structural investigations and monitoring activities, conducted over the last decades, makes the model of the Sanctuary of Vicoforte an ideal benchmark structure.

Effect of noise in the time-frequency estimate of the peridynamic bond elastic constant parameter
The Peridynamic (PD) theory is a modern nonlocal (nonlinear, elastic /inelastic, with-out/with me...mory) theory able to deal with long-range forces and discontinuity in materials. For this reason the theory is suitable for the monitoring of masonry structures.

Seismic Structural Health Monitoring of Cultural Heritage Structures
In the case of heritage buildings, non-invasive techniques are of paramount interest, especially ...those that can exploit the natural vibration of the structure. Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) can play an important role in the preservation of architectural heritage, especially when it can support a rapid and reliable assessment of structural damage and degradation.
