Some arrays of buildings in historical nuclei of Central Italy are currently monitored by steady‐state accelerometers. The aim is to identify the structural scheme of a single building representing the effect on it of the other systems of the array. A method for interpreting the recorded responses is presented. It is based on the a priori assumption of a scheme for the building of interest, thought of as being isolated, and on the identification of two sets of masses and of stillnesses to add in order to account for the array effect. The method is limited to linear behaviour and to planar systems.
