National Conference — Public Works between Urban Vision and Safety

Video

National conference promoted by the STAR – CODAU Group, scheduled in Urbino from 12 to 14 March 2026, dedicated to the themes of urban planning, the social function of public works, and the structural safety of historic building heritage.

In Session II, “Structural safety and vulnerability: historic buildings and public heritage”, Eng. Arch. Massimo Mariani, President of the Sisto Mastrodicasa Study Centre, speaks on the causes of structural failures in masonry buildings and on the main methods of diagnosis and intervention.

Reconstruction and redevelopment of the building heritage: Massimo Mariani's doubts

Video

In his speech at SAIE Lab Perugia, Massimo Mariani calls into question many of the certainties of traditional seismic engineering. Starting from the comparison between Norcia and Amatrice, he highlights how prevention and widespread structural improvement interventions can save lives. At the center of the reflection is the real behavior of historic masonry, often far from theoretical models based on classical mechanics. Mariani introduces the concept of masonry disintegration, a phenomenon that leads to the loss of internal cohesion and the progressive collapse of buildings. He further emphasizes

Pompeii, a 2000-Year-Old Lesson in Anti-Seismic Engineering: The Report by Massimo Mariani

Video

In this intense testimony, Eng. Massimo Mariani analyzes the extraordinary resistance of the ancient masonry of Pompeii, emphasizing its structural homogeneity even after millennia and numerous seismic and volcanic events. Campanian tuff, the original mortars, and ancient construction techniques prove to be exceptional examples of durability. Mariani highlights the difference between volcanic and tectonic earthquakes, and describes the ongoing project for the consolidation of the site, carried out with artisanal precision and attention to "visible dynamism." Modern solutions – from the use of stainless steel…

Design is born from knowledge of earthquake damage: a journey through the places of the greatest earthquakes

 

INGENIO Editorial Staff 12/04/2018 9720
A journey through the places of the greatest Italian earthquakes to understand seismic events

"Our Engineering of Consolidation and Restoration of buildings must move away from evanescent modeling on wall systems whose behaviors can come closer to the laws of "chaos" and "unpredictability" than to statics and dynamics: It must continue in empiricism and science in unison with each other.
We must return to being aware of our scientific knowledge, above all to disseminate the Art and Craftsmanship of our discipline, providing young colleagues and anyone wishing to deepen their knowledge with the indispensable tools for a careful reading of the origins and the crack pattern of the structural system, as well as its "state of disintegration" due to the "memory of damage" accumulated by previous earthquakes.
We must return to the practice of "knowing how to read" structures, interpreting their needs and pathologies, and then resorting to analytical checks and the most appropriate intervention techniques, always respecting the asset on which one works."

Massimo Mariani, Councilor of -

Design originates from knowledge of earthquake damage
Massimo Mariani's words led us to organize this long journey through the places of the main Italian seismic events of the last 110 years. A journey in which to meet colleagues who, through handed-down history or direct experience, have known earthquake damage.
And it will be precisely Massimo Mariani, National Councilor of the CNI, who will hold the key lection at each stop, precisely to graft in a deeper examination and an exchange of experiences and ideas that will allow us, at the end of the journey, to be able to write an account useful for all those who deal with these topics.
11 discussion events, updates, information in the cities of Italian earthquakes where one can meet technicians.
11 stops, for which we have requested professional credits for engineers, with free access.
11 meetings with companies specializing in the seismic field, to learn about new solutions and concrete cases
The program of events had the patronage of the CNI
Each stop entitles you to 4 training credits for engineers and access is free thanks to the support given by some Companies in the Sector. Due to space limitations, pre-registration is required.

In this TG2 report, Eng. Massimo Mariani explains why buildings collapse: not only natural events, but structures built without the required standards, poor-quality materials and the accumulation over time of stresses (the “memory of damage”). Hence the need for a scheduled structural check-up: buildings age and must be monitored.

The permanent workshops of the IC association were created to combine languages and art and work to build an open place of overlapping ideas and ideals, using contaminations and often unexplored relationships, to rethink possible worlds and seek the concrete utopia of civil connection. The name is not random: workshops are the place of disassembly and reassembly, of deconstruction and reconstruction, of experimentation, of assembly, of prototyping. It is a multidisciplinary universe in which the relationships between the individual elements are more important than

Earthquake in Central Italy, the analysis by Eng. Massimo Mariani (part one)

The first part of Tiziana Stella's interview with one of the leading Italian experts, known also abroad, on building consolidation and restoration: Engineer Massimo Mariani reiterates that, due to the peculiarities of the Apennine territory, villages and houses should be checked cyclically because the evolution of materials and construction techniques is constant. The solution would be simple and effective: consolidation work on pre-existing structures. In the interview, he explains why most of the buildings in Amatrice and Accumoli collapsed.
