Abstract
In urban areas, severe hazardous scenarios can occur with nonnegligible frequency. Large cities are complex systems, in which several complex subsystems interact. Some of the interacting sub-systems are only slightly influenced by the others, but can impact heavily themselves onto the others. The structures of civil and industrial constructions have such nature. The vulnerability reduction and control is a task that shall be programmed in condition of limited resources. Structural Condition Monitoring (CM) can help to manage it efficiently. Most of the strategic constructions to which a monitoring system can be applied are existing buildings, sometimes ancient, whose mechanical behavior is hard to assess due to large uncertainties. A reliable monitoring application shall be robust and resilient itself. Redundant distributed sensor networks, designed after an accurate risk analysis, shall have reasonably low cost. Data management, damage assessment and model updating procedures shall be stochastic and robust themselves. Holistic dynamics and multimodel optimization are effective methods with common characters.
