Abstract

Abstract The historical and cultural heritage has been damaged and destroyed for many years by catastrophic events. In Italy, the safeguarding of historic masonry buildings from seismic events has drawn the attention of researchers, often underestimating other external factors. This may be due to the fact that, over the centuries, earthquakes have frequently destroyed entire cities. In order to preserve and monitor historical and cultural heritage, structural health monitoring (SHM) systems based on the Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm, associated with maintenance and classification projects such as CARTIS, have been introduced in recent years. These systems guarantee not only the monitoring and maintenance of the single building but also a large-scale control of an urban neighbourhood. The purpose of this paper is to define a preliminary SHM system capable of preserving cities from catastrophic events other than earthquakes, focusing on the study of the phenomenon of river flooding. This is addressed by proposing a monitoring system based on smart nodes implementing new mathematical modelling to foreseen floods.
