Keywords: masonry buildings, static and dynamic analysis, operational modal analysis, dynamic identification, numerical codes, monitoring, wireless sensors.

The project is aimed at studying and developing integrated techniques for monitoring, analysis and maintenance of age-old masonry constructions. These techniques will be based on wireless sensor networks (accelerometers, extensometers, thermometers, inclinometers, etc.) and innovative numerical tools. The monitoring systems and the techniques for the dynamical identification will be tested on some monumental buildings of the Tuscan cultural heritage.
