Modal expansion techniques are typically used to expand the experimental modal displacements at t...he sensor positions to other unmeasured degrees of freedom. Since in
most cases the sensors can be attached only at limited locations in a structure, an expansion is essential to assess the condition of substructures such as tanks and pipelines

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
| This paper presents the results of the dynamic tests conducted on a historical reinforced concret...e arch bridge located in the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines, in the province of Parma (Italy). The design of the sensors location was determined in order to investigate the possible separation into bodies operated by the joints between the different spans. |
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.
