Fragility curve probabilistic model applied to durability and long term mechanical damage of masonry

In view of preserving the historical heritage, the deterioration processes of masonry materials and the long term damage of multiple leaf historic buildings is studied from an experimental and a numerical point of view. Durability tests and pseudo-creep tests have been carried out and interpreted through probabilistic models for the service life prediction. The precocious recognition of structural critical states will allow to design repair and strengthening interventions and to prevent total or partial failure of the constructions.
