Modal testing is one of the most effective experimental techniques for the structural health
monitoring of masonry constructions, as it provides useful information for the calibration of …

We present an innovative application of a non-destructive approach for the mechanical
characterization of historical masonry structures, based on the analysis of their dynamic …

In this paper, we study the capability of the radar interferometry technique for the ambient
vibration tests on very large and massive historical masonry bridges. This innovative …

Radar interferometry is an innovative measurement technique capable of remotely
measuring vibrations in terms of displacement history. It apparently allows overcoming some …

The scientific community is hardly working to propose reliable methodologies of analysis
and non-invasive technologies of investigation to assess the current state of conservation of …

The inherent vulnerability of masonry structures to seismic events makes Structural Health
Monitoring of pivotal importance for the conservation of architectural heritage. In this regard …

Microwave remote sensing is the most recent experimental methodology suitable to the non-
contact measurement of deflections on large structures, in static or dynamic conditions. After …

This paper discusses the performance of a terrestrial radar interferometer for the structural
monitoring of ancient masonry towers. High-speed radar interferometry is an innovative and …

Interferometric radar is popular equipment able to perform remote dynamic testing of large
structures (towers, bridges, and buildings) by detecting the displacement in time in the line of …

Dynamic performance measurement of buildings using conventional contact sensors such
as accelerometers, tilt meters and Global Positioning System (GPS) can be difficult due to …
