New STANDards for seismic assessment of built cultural HERITAGE

Project description

Seismic protection of heritage structures

Safeguarding built cultural heritage for the next generations is a major societal demand. The out of plane collapse of masonry walls is the most frequently observed seismic damage mechanism in these buildings. The EU-funded STAND4HERITAGE project will develop approaches for seismic response prediction of masonry structures. In line with the UN 2030 agenda for sustainable cities and communities, it will integrate the necessary stages for out of plane assessment and develop stochastic-based models to consider the seismic signal in the dynamic response and capacity. The project will be founded on the experience of the PI in the topic, and on the interdisciplinary expertise of his team in facing the challenges to provide optimal intervention solutions for heritage buildings.
