STAND4Heritage ambitiously engages in introducing new standards for safeguarding built cultural heritage for the next generations, which is a major societal demand. Due to its large diversity, the accurate description of the structural behaviour of heritage buildings is still an open issue, particularly when subjected to earthquake ground motions. STAND4Heritage contains an analysis of the seismic signal (WP1), an extensive experimental campaign (WP2), the development and validation of intermediate numerical approaches (WP3) and an integrated analytical tool for the assessment of the seismic capacity of masonry buildings (WP4).
