Abstract: Structure maintenance is one of the most relevant problem of civil engineering and architecture. Existing structures when damaged need a diagnostic investigation in order to define their actual state and to assess their safety. This necessity is particularly evident for historical buildings, but also for recent buildings when events like earthquakes, floods or long term lack of maintenance cause severe damage. When on site investigation is carried out nondestructive tests and reliable identification techniques are needed.
