Great attention is increasingly paid to the heritage belonging to the XX century, particularly fo...r the spatial structures made of concrete, that are a significant trait of this modern movement architecture.

Investigation into the geometric configuration of historical masonry domes is fundamental when st...udying the structural behaviour of these architectural elements, above all

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.

The paper presents the overall objectives of a funded research program for the development of a C...onservation Plan (CP) for the two halls by Pier Luigi Nervi of the Turin

: 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.

This paper investigates different optimisation methods for the finite element model
calibration ...of monitored masonry structures affected by earthquakes. The aim is to establish a
reference numerical model in support of the existing monitoring systems installed on the
structures. The Seismic Observatory of the Structures (OSS), is the Italian network for the
