2 Post-earthquake survey of damages after seismic event allowed the scientific community to understand the drawback and limitation of the state-of-the-art technologies and approaches applied at the time. INTRODUCTION

3 INTRODUCTION Some defects that make useless the effects of the interventions and even increase the vulnerability of Cultural Heritage assests can arise for various reasons. Inadequate intervention: infinitely rigid diaphragms at roof level Inadequate analysis of historic structures Use of Inadequate materials that give rise to chemical, physical and mechanical incompatibility

4 Proposes the development of a new integrated methodology for solving the problems, aiming at improving the general safety level and for reducing the loss of artistic value. INNOVATION IN THE FOLLOWING AREAS Materials and techniques for intervention Studies and techniques for structural connections Testing and sub-structuring test methods Optimization approach for CH buildings Monitoring and early warning systems Integrated, multidisciplinary approach for CH Standardization NIKER PROJECT
