  In this paper, we present some applications of the multivariate sampling
Kantorovich operators $S_w$ to seismic engineering. The mathematical theory of
these operators, both in the space of continuous functions and in Orlicz
spaces, show how it is possible to approximate/reconstruct multivariate
signals, such as images. In particular, to obtain applications for
thermographic images a mathematical algorithm is developed using MATLAB and
matrix calculus. The setting of Orlicz spaces is important since allow us to
reconstruct not necessarily continuous signals by means of $S_w$. The
reconstruction of thermographic images of buildings by our sampling Kantorovich
algorithm allow us to obtain models for the simulation of the behavior of
structures under seismic action. We analyze a real world case study in term of
structural analysis and we compare the behavior of the building under seismic
action using various models.
