- Abstract
The paper stems from a recent experiment carried out in the area of the Archaeological Park of Porto Torres (the "MADAR" project - Mathematical models for the simulation of structural degradation phenomena in archaeological areas), where the potential of a mathematical tool was tested for preventive diagnosis of archaeological walled structures. In view of the discontinuities in the investigated structures, due to their high degree of stratification, the contribution of the architecture of archaeology served to provide the necessary data for the creation of a mathematical model that was as effective as possible. The predictive and non-invasive method tried out with MADAR paves the way for suggested ways of redefining some aspects of the regulatory approach to conservation, in order to protect architectural features in a way that can be extended to the heritage as a whole. The context chosen to conduct the research is northwestern Sardinia, where numerous structures have been identified that differ in their fabric, chronology and monumental size. To these, it is possible to apply the numerical analysis and simulation tools that were developed, and that take into account both the natural evolution of the structural damage, and the specific mechanical stimuli related to the work of excavation, which essentially have not yet been considered in the development of structural analysis models.
