Scientific Leader: Prof. Giovanni PascaleWP5 Leader: Dr. Camilla CollaHead Research Unit: Prof. Francesco UbertiniMain tasks of UNIBO:WP4: modelling of masonry deterioration, coupled models, data fusionWP5: integrated NDT and mechanical testing of structural elements,

comparative testing, lab accelerated ageing tests on masonry WP6: case problem definition (Palazzo Malvezzi), structural modelling

and model coupling, NDT tests on stones and wooden elements

WP4: Coupled mechanical - environmental deterioration modelling of brick masonry walls

WP5: Lab. testing of defects and

decay on wooden samples and

masonry specimens

7FP – Theme 6 Environment, Project-Number: 212939

Duration: 3 years (started date: 2008-12-01), 14 PartnerTotal EC contribution: € 1,404,993.00, UNIBO (DISTART) Budget: € 190,200.00

WP6: 3 main case studies (in Berlin, Schwäbisch Gmünd and Bologna) are used to demonstrate and validate the work that is done in the core WP. 2 additional test sites (in Hebron and Vienna) serve for method and system enhancement.

Aim: establish smart monitoring systems based on wireless sensors that are inexpensive,

robusts and can support the preservationists

Work program topics: Area 6.3.2.4 - Fostering the

integration of cultural heritage in urban and rural

settingsEeB.ENV.2010.3.2.4-1 -Compatible solutions for

improving the energy efficiency of historic

buildings in urban areas

Balanced geographical distribution of partners on different European countries and climates

Main tasks of UNIBO: -analysis and diagnosis of problematics of historical buildings as support to decision on best solutions -evaluation of intervention measures adopted as expost quality control on building modelling of specific environmental risks due to moisture, salt content in CS -responsible for CS n. 3 (Palazzina della Viola, Bologna, Italy).

Duration: 42 months (started date: 2010-10-01)Total Requested EC contribution: € 4,990,485.00

Aim: support the sustainable refurbishment of Europe’s built heritage through the development and demonstration of new

systems and technologies both for “hard facts” energy efficient building concept and “soft systems”, such as the intelligent

monitoring & control system..
