Ideas for future FP7 research projects CULTURAL HERITAGE DI Klaudia Ratzinger VCE, Vienna, Austria Dr. Barbara Theilen- Willige BAGF, Germany 1
Ideas for FP7 projects: Facts in the field of One of the biggest problems is that the current condition of the building and the integrity of its structure are difficult to assess Numerous European cities with cultural heritage buildings and historic city centers are often located within zones of high seismicity (Athens, Naples, Palermo, Nice, Bucharest) and have experienced often in the past the impact of strong earthquakes Belgirate, Italy, 19-20 July 2007 LESSLOSS FINAL WORKSHOP 2

Ideas for FP7 proects: Vibrations are the major factor in aging and damage management. Mobile and immobile cultural assets of the cultural heritage are subject to floor vibrations from visitors, transferred vibration from nearby traffic or even vibrations from earthquakes Belgirate, Italy, 19-20 July 2007 LESSLOSS FINAL WORKSHOP 5

Ideas for FP7 projects: Objectives Integrated and multidisciplinary approach to enable the proper preventive conservation and maintenance of complex assemblies of moveable and immovable cultural assets The focus on diagnosis and monitoring of vibration from visitors, nearby traffic or sources like earthquakes Depending on the vibration intensity (energy involved) they consume small or large portions of the lifetime of the buildings The overall objective is to strengthen monuments and buildings of high cultural value. Special care has to be taken when intervening in these structures to do not change their character. This requires the application of techniques as less intrusive as possible.

Research needs in the field of Ideas for FP7 projects: Ambient vibration techniques are particularly relevant for structural health monitoring of historical buildings Protection of cultural heritage against the effects of vibrations in general and earthquakes in particular is an interdisciplinary undertaking where the knowledge, skills and experience of earthquake and structural engineers assisted by architects, art historians and material scientists are required Belgirate, Italy, 19-20 July 2007 LESSLOSS FINAL WORKSHOP 8
