Abstract
The evaluation of the structural safety and seismic vulnerability of historical masonry buildings represents one of the most important problems affecting countries like Italy, characterized by a wide cultural heritage, whose original nature shall be preserved against unexpected seismic event or insufficient maintenance during their working life. According to the actual prescriptions for existing historical buildings, a "multi-level" and "multi-disciplinary" approach shall be adopted for the assessment of ancient masonry buildings, including global and local verifications, necessary for the planning and design of retrofit operations. In the present work, the above mentioned approach is applied to Palazzo della Sapienza in Pisa, ancient seat of the University of Pisa currently not in use because of the ordinance issued by the Mayor's Office in May 2012 in consequence to the effects of the Emilia earthquake and the results of ensuing surveys conducted by Fire Department expertsI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
