On the Use of the Digital Twin Concept for the Structural Integrity Protection of Architectural Heritage

Undoubtedly, heritage buildings serve as essential embodiments of the cultural richness and diversity world’s states, their conservation is utmost importance. Specifically, protection structural integrity these highly relevant not only because themselves but also they often contain precious artworks, such sculptures, paintings, frescoes. When a disaster causes damage to buildings, artworks will likely be damaged, resulting in loss historical artistic materials an intangible memory identity for people. To preserve state-of-the-art recommendations inspired by Venice Charter 1964 suggest real-time monitoring progressive existing structures, avoiding massive interventions, providing immediate action case disaster. The most up-to-date digital information analysis technologies, twins, can employed fulfil this approach. implementation twin paradigm crucial developing preventive approach built conservation, considering its key features continuous data exchange with physical system predictive analysis. This paper presents comprehensive overview concept architecture, engineering, construction, operation (AECO) domain. It critically discusses some applications within context preserving architectural heritage, particular emphasis on masonry structures. Finally, prototype preservation buildings’ proposed.
