Carlo RAINIERI

Prof. Carlo RAINIERI is an academic researcher affiliated with the Department of Bioscienze e Territorio at the University of Molise, Italy. His work focuses on structural health monitoring (SHM), vibration-based diagnostics, and the dynamic characterization of civil infrastructure. He has pioneered methodologies for environmental compensation in modal analysis, automation of operational modal analysis (OMA), and integration of remote sensing technologies for infrastructure assessment.

RAINIERI's research spans bridge monitoring, historical structure preservation, and hospital facility resilience. Key contributions include development of kernel PCA-based environmental effect compensation, hybrid OMA algorithms, and SHM systems validated via shaking table tests. His recent work emphasizes practical clustering approaches for anomaly detection, smart healthcare facility design through vibration monitoring, and cyber-physical systems for infrastructure management.

He has collaborated on projects involving UNESCO heritage sites like the Trisulti Charterhouse and the Santa Maria Maddalena church. His experimental studies include investigations on masonry structures' seismic vulnerability, cement paste behavior under storage conditions, and liquid storage tank dynamics. RAINIERI has also contributed to advancing digital twin technologies for historical buildings through BIM-FEM integration.

Over 150 published articles demonstrate his expertise in modal parameter monitoring, damage detection algorithms, and probabilistic assessment techniques. His work bridges theoretical advancements with industrial applications, providing actionable insights for infrastructure maintenance and disaster resilience strategies.
