Notes on the Behavior of Hystorical Masonry Buildings: defining the “Regola dell’Arte” and identification
of the Antiseismic Performance
The article describes the structural behavior of hystoric masonry buildings, the construction characteristics
according to “Regola dell’Arte” and the antiseismic attitude of these constructions.
Within this article
there is also the record of the structure and conservation conditions of constructions, as well as some
“prompt” checks based on the criteria of calculation.
The article shows a consolidation project definition based on a set of intervention techniques provided
by specific requirements such the application of procedures for checking safety conditions as outlined in
regulations, and an analysis on the earthquake effects within the Italian city of L’Aquila.
