Summary
This paper proposes an integrated structural monitoring and simulation system. More specifically it presents a wireless sensor network prototype for the structural health monitoring of historical buildings supported by the structural code NOSA-ITACA. The prototype will be applied on the bell tower of the church of San Frediano in Lucca.
