7 PROBLEM STATEMENT Damage detection and assessment, Structural design or assessment, Maintenance and retrofitting of existing structures Structural behavior and control during earthquakes STRUCTURAL HEALTH MONITORING (SHM) Continuous or short term monitoring of structural behavior connected to the evaluation of structural evolution with the passing of time 7

8 APPLICATION TO HISTORICAL BUILDINGS On-site testing and monitoring can be considered key activities for a conscious knowledgebased approach in the conservation of the architectural heritage. INVESTIGATIONS Structural behaviour definition (ex: validation of behavioural models) MONITORING Permanent structural controls (continuous on site inspections) MONITORING TECHNIQUES STATIC MONITORING DYNAMIC MONITORING 8

13 Roman amphitheater: Arena di Verona SHM IS AN ALTERNATIVE TO STRENGTHENING GEOMETRIC AND STRUCTURAL FEATURES Ellipse (152.43m x m) Two annular galleries and 73 radial masonry walls Inner masonry: multi-leaf with inner core Wing - Ala : freestanding structure remaining four arches of the outer ring, h=30.75 m 13 HISTORICAL NOTES - PAST INTERVENTIONS I century: construction of the amphitheater XII century: collapse of the outer ring 1939: First intervention on the Wing : buttresses construction before WWII

14 Architecture of an Integrated Measurement System NI CompactDAQ hardware combines a 1-, 4-, or 8-slot chassis with over 50 measurement-specific NI C Series I/O modules and can operate stand-alone with a built-in controller or connect to a host computer over USB, Ethernet, or Wi-Fi.

20 Do not understimate hardware configuration and sensor placement 22

21 Do take advantage of platform flexibility Customer asked for non intrusive fissuration monitoring: We developed a brand new image acquisition application to monitor ancient frescos in Conegliano 23

22 Do work with partners Civil structure department Padua University 24

23 Do not forget Human Machine Interface 25
