ABSTRACT
Significant effort is being made to develop and install new solutions capable of enhancing the strength, ductility and energy dissipation capacity of ancient buildings, whilst respecting their original structural concept, and therefore their authenticity. Seismic performance improvement of historic constructions can be addressed by means of low intrusive interventions. A set of complementary low intrusive systems and techniques, designed for structural rehabilitation and seismic retrofitting, are presented, as well as a representative case study.
