Introductions and aims

S.M.ART. BUIL.T. Structural Monitoring of ARTistic and historical BUILding Testimonies is a project funded by the European Territorial Cooperation Programme Greece-Italy 2007/2013, and leaded by the Polytechnic of Bari.

The core idea of S.M.ART. BUIL.T. is risks prevention, which concerns not only the prevention of loss of lives and properties, but also the preservation of artistic and historical buildings from natural hazards.

Architectural heritage is an important part of the history and identity of Italy and Greece, contributing to their economy and wellbeing. On the other side, ancient buildings suffer a high vulnerability to dynamic loads, which may induce an unpredictable partial or total collapse. Recent past experience after L’Aquila earthquake strongly evidence this problem.

The main objectives are the implementation of procedures for the structural monitoring, the seismic vulnerability assessment, the development of guidelines for strengthening and repair of the historical buildings (in Trani and Corfu). The two historic centers are made up of many ancient and brittle masonry buildings, mostly built with local stone, representative of a widespread typology in the Mediterranean area.

The International Conference titled Historical Centres among Culture, Art and Techniques: a new paradigma for risks prevention through structural monitoring is the most important action of diffusion activities of the S.M.ART. BUIL.T. project and it is open to all experts in the following topics: seismic and structural monitoring, historical and artistic heritage, computational and technological issues for monitoring and modeling historical buildings, in order to exchange experience of correlated research areas. The purpose is to make the conference a forum for dissemination of the latest scientific and technical developments and for exchange of new ideas in emerging topics of the project.

The International Conference will take place in Bari, 27- 29 March 2014.

Invited lectures on specific topics strictly related with the major research issues will be presented by international experts on the topics of the Conference. Partecipants are invited to present oral and poster contributions.
Selected papers presented during the days of the Conference will be considered for publication in special issues of peer-reviewed journals indexed in Scopus.

  2. Historical aspects and general methodology of historical centres
  3. Conservation and restoration of historical buildings

II. STRUCTURAL AREA

  1. Dynamic identification and structural monitoring of historical buildings
  2. Analytical and numerical approaches
  3. Seismic analysis and vulnerability assessment
  4. Case studies
