Since the ‘80s the use of steel external additive structures is considered one of the most suitable techniques for seismic retrofit of existing RC structures with low dissipative capacity. This structural typology, called exoskeleton, made its first appearance in 2000s in the Japanese and American codes dealing with structural rehabilitation issues. Nowadays, exoskeletons can be implemented without interrupting the building use and they are also used for the integrated retrofit of the building systems. In the present work, after the typological classification of steel exoskeletons in families and the definition of their key project parameters, the application of these systems to the case study of the primary school P. Santini in Loro Piceno, a district of Macerata, has been shown for illustrative purpose.
