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…

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 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

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.
