“…• the development of new constructions, which can be "traditional" hospitals or innovative buildings: -"modular composite building in urgent emergency engineering projects (Wuhan Thunder God Mountain/ Leishenshan hospital)" [1]; -"off-site construction for emergencies" [2]. As such, the current article presents a study concerning the checking of lateral structure from a seismic point of view regarding the "Braila Emergency County Hospital (ECH)" (see figures 1 -8), which is a "historical monument" [3][4][5][6][7][8]. For proper knowledge of the building, some data and general aspects regarding the physical condition of the historical monument and data regarding the geometry of the masonry structure was specified.…”

”Braila Emergency County Hospital (ECH)” historical monument represents one of the main objectives of structural rehabilitation in both Braila county and Braila city. Thus, a structural strength verification for Pavilion B, Section 2, using ETABS software was performed, in order to find optimal retrofitting (rehabilitation) solutions. This analytical procedure proved to be beneficial and absolutely necessary, due to observations regarding the spatial contribution of masonry shear walls and finally the proper establishment of capable/design efforts. Following the structural calculation, it was concluded that the best solution would be to use composite materials for retrofitting a certain number of masonry shear walls, as classical retrofitting methods proved to be more expensive and structurally inefficient. Furthermore, in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, the solution to use composite materials is beneficial, as it would entail no personnel or patients to be evacuated during the rehabilitation works, i.e. the hospital being able to continue to operate.

“…Moreover, whatever the causes, a damage correlation between the museum structural systems and artworks housed in them represents a mandatory issue in order to safeguard unmovable art assets e.g. frescoes, valuable plasters or wall paintings, mosaics, paving and stuccoes (Marra 2021, Degli Esposti 2021, Ponte 2021, Satta 2021. In particular, the frescoes are in the highest risk condition, because the art good itself and the structural element (the wall to which it is connected) are part of a single entity.…”

The importance of research that addresses the numerous themes of architectural and cultural heritage conservation is a fact that has now been acquired on the national and international scene. The objective of the ongoing research presented is the study and development of infrared thermography as an innovative technique for non-contact, and absolutely non-invasive, investigations for the diagnosis of ancient masonry walls with specific attention to frescoes. In parallel, the devised technique is applied to a case study of very high historical value: the cycles of mural paintings of the Templar Church of San Bevignate in Perugia. Such architectural complex also houses a relevant archeological site which consists of a roman fullonica, part of the museum itinerary. Starting from the thermographic data, both the state of conservation of the precious painting and the seismic safety of the masonry Church – tied to the quality of the brickwork texture – are evaluated. The comparison among thermographic results and the outcomes due to a restoration activity of the painted parts, that took place on 2019 and that is still in progress, are highlighted.
