Structural deterioration represents a crucial chapter in the evolution of buildings. Every structure is an organism that ages, undergoing a continuous process of wear and transformation. The factors triggering degradation are multiple: environmental stress, climatic variations, mechanical loads, original material quality, and inadequate maintenance.

Cracks, deformations, material corrosion, and foundation settlement are not merely aesthetic defects, but symptoms of a progressive compromise of structural stability. The first signs of deterioration can hide behind seemingly insignificant imperfections: micro-fractures in walls, slight plaster detachments, minimal variations in the alignment of load-bearing structures.

These elements are like a silent language that tells the story of structural fatigue, anticipating potential future risks if not adequately interpreted and managed. The aging of a building follows a complex trajectory: initially imperceptible, then increasingly evident.
