POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS BEFORE AND IMMEDIATELY AFTER<br />

EARTHQUAKE<br />

PROF. CLAUDIO MODENA<br />

Experimental investigations <strong>and</strong> monitoring<br />

Several investigation procedures have been implemented; the attempt is to use non destructive<br />

techniques (NDT) as much as <strong>possible</strong>. With the exception of few MDT investigation techniques that can<br />

provide information about quantitative characteristics of materials <strong>and</strong> structural elements, most of the<br />

procedures can give only qualitative results<br />
