Abstract
In recent years, the preservation strategies of cultural heritage have become an element of considerable importance. Unfortunately, research has often been conducted in an excessively mono-sectoral or disaggregated manner. Moreover, there is a significant number of reinforce concrete (RC) buildings and engineering works that are of historical interest and play a key role during the earthquakes. An urban center, its historical structures and infrastructures or single buildings, if well managed, preserved, protected, recovered and enhanced can represent an excellent source of income and induce a considerable economic development in the neighboring areas. On the other hand, a lack of value appreciation and/or incorrect management represent a significant economic loss in the long-term, but an immediate loss after earthquakes. In this work, the historical and cultural value of these RC structures and infrastructures is discussed and the main critical issues are identified, outlining the fundamental requirements for conservation.

Summary
The preservation strategies of cultural heritage have becomean element of considerable importance. The focus of current paper is the recovery, enhancement and choice of the best management strategies of historical, artistic and architectural heritage Both the monumental and cultural buildings (single or large-scale urban) as well as structures and infrastructures are considered. The rehabilitation and retrofitting of historic RC constructions are much more recent themes and for which awareness is not yet widespread These topics comprise all those matters that are usually involved in the conservation of the monumental and cultural heritage and where the greater difficulties lie in the complexity of the interventions that are to be carried out on a regular basis and where the construction remains operational and with significant importance classes, III and IV for EC8 code [5]. New proposals or comparisons should not be necessary: structural safety is a fundamental requirement, which should not be violated
