Abstract:

The case that the researchers had to analyse on behalf of the Public Prosecutor's Office, was the initial failure that triggered the unexpected collapse of a reinforced concrete building during the night of November 11th, 1999. They also had to reconstruct the event starting from the individuation of the causes of such crumbling that is still remembered for its serious sacrifice of human lives. Together with the detailed report of the case, the paper intends to make a useful contribution to the crucial topic concerning the choice of the most appropriate method to perform this sort of autopsy, without neglecting any technical guideline.
