This book will help architects and engineers to understand and deal with the continuous damage of heavy structures. It includes a recognition of signs of the phenomenon, proposed predictive models, and guidelines for the on-site investigation, monitoring and repair of the damaged structures.
The book examines a number of well known cases: the collapse of the Civic Tower of Pavia (March 17 1989); the collapse of the St. Marco bell-tower in Venice (1902), the collapse of the Sancta Maria Magdalena bell-tower in Dusseldorf (1992); damage to the bell-tower of the Monza Cathedral; damage to the Torrazzo in Cremona; the collapse of the Noto Cathedral (1996).
The book describes ongoing experimental research, begun in 1989, designed to examine the phenomenon. After a careful interpretation of the experimental results, also based on experience from rock mechanics and concrete, modelling of the phenomenon for massive structures as creep behaviour of masonry was implemented.

This text represents the first ever attempt to include in book format a number of standard problems from structural mechanics. It is innovative in treating each problem by means of a single mathematical approach (the influence function method). The material in the book presumes that the reader's background is equally solid in undergraduate mathematics and mechanics. The book covers only a limited number of topics from the undergraduate/graduate course on structural mechanics and as such is intended as a supplementary, rather than a primary, text. It can also be used in other core courses in the mechanical/civil engineering curriculum, as well as in the applied or industrial mathematics curriculum. It can even be adapted as a graduate text for a course on computational mechanics, where a student could use a strong mathematical background in modelling and solving actual problems from mechanics. Engineers involved in the structural design industry will also find the book useful.
