✦ Synopsis

Abstract

Techniques, materials and design procedures in use for the structural restoration of historical buildings and monuments in seismic areas are presented on a conceptual basis and in relation to the restoration principles as they are stated in the Venice Charter. In this respect, the dependence of the restoration on the preservation of the aesthetic and historical values of the buildings, the low reliability of their original textures and the limitations to the intervention materials and techniques, create a very strict frame of actions, which is a real challenge for the structural engineer.
