Abstract
The paper deals with two issues. The first one provides an introduction to the problem of analysing existing structures within a seismic and heritage context. It addresses the issue of the quality and validity of the analysis. The second topic gives an illustrative case study of a low energy earthquake applied to an existing U.K. structure using two separate approaches for comparative purposes.
