SAHC 2018

motivation

The technological advances achieved in the past decades enabled great developments and uncovered new challenges in the field of structural analysis of historical and archeological constructions. Progress also made evident that accuracy and robustness of results rely on an interdisciplinary approach, where different areas of expertise from architecture to engineering work together towards a common understanding of the history, the material, the structure, the analysis, and the intervention. Bearing this in mind, the 11th edition of SAHC, in 2018, aims at bringing up to discussion the new knowledge developed in the different disciplines involved in conservation, retrofit and management of historical and archaeological constructions. We welcome you to join this international event where we can all come together, to discuss and exchange insights, concerning recent advances and challenges we all face in research or professional practice in this field.
