Built in the late 1960s, the building features a reinforced concrete structure with irregularly placed masonry walls, complicating its seismic assessment. To ensure accurate numerical modeling, a thorough series of structural investigations was performed. The process began with a visual inspection and photographic survey, followed by a detailed plan based on gathered data and existing documentation to minimize intrusiveness. Through multiple site visits and precise measurements, the building's geometry was accurately documented. Both destructive and non-destructive methods were used to determine mechanical properties, including core sampling, rebound hammer tests, and reinforcement mapping, revealing discrepancies with original drawings. This data was then used to assess the structural integrity and regularity as per Eurocode 8, ultimately producing reliable mechanical parameters and confidence factors for an accurate numerical model of the building.

The Loreto of Prague is a Baroque monument with a rich history, known for its iconic façade by the Dientzenhofers. The complex features a replica of St. Mary’s Holy House of Nazareth and has undergone several construction phases since 1626, leading to alterations and some damage, particularly to the timber roof structures. Recent studies, including dendrochronological dating and diagnostic tests, have analyzed these historic interventions. A numerical model of the south-west wing’s timber roof was created to understand the observed deformations. The model confirms the current stability of the structure and suggests minimally invasive strengthening solutions to ensure its longevity.

Built on the left bank of the Douro River, the Romanesque Church of Barrô was founded in the 12th century. This church underwent many changes during its service years. The damage level and mechanical properties of the structure were evaluated through NDT. From these tests, it was possible to evaluate the structural properties with a comfortable reliable confidence level and form a detailed damage map. With the purpose of determining the cause of the damages and suggesting proper conservation, a numerical nonlinear analysis was performed in order to evaluate the vertical load-carrying capacity of the structure. Lateral pushover analysis was also performed in both directions to observe the seismic performance of the structure. Finally, preventive measures are recommended, together with a detailed monitoring plan to increase the confidence and knowledge level of the structure.
