I do not believe that musical instruments can cause structural damage. I have an upright piano next to a door and a wall. Our piano has been there for 7 years. There are no complications for closing our door, and there are no cracks on our walls. I play it constantly, and no such occurrences have happened. I do not believe walking will cause structural damage. If it did, many houses would need annual repairs.

Why was the Roman Pantheon built?
A pantheon was a temple dedicated to all gods, unlike other temples which were dedicated to one or two to three gods. Pantheon is a Greek word which means "of/for all gods" or "common to all gods" by combining the words pan (all) and theoios "(of or for the gods).
There were several pantheons around the Roman Empire. The most famous of is the one in Rome. The first building was built by Marcus Agrippa in 27 BC. It burned in 80 AD and was rebuilt by the emperor Domitian. It burn again and was rebuilt the emperor Trajan's architect Apollodorus of Damascus. The emperor Hadrian had it repaired again after yet another fire in 126 AD. However, it is now thought that the current building was actually manly the work of Apollodorus of Damascus. Agrippa's first design was rectangular, like most of the Roman temples. A rotunda with a dome was built at its back, in the place where there was a circular square. An inscription which said that Agrippa built the temple was retained on its frieze.
The Pantheon in Rome is well preserved because it was converted into a Catholic church. It still has the largest unreinforced concrete dome on the world.

Does porosity affect the strength and properties of building materials?
Yes. Porosity is the void space between grains or clasts of a solid material such as the gaps between the grains in sandstone.
Rocks that have higher porosity are typically less stiff at small strain values than more porous rocks as the initial deformation closes up the pore spaces which is relatively easy to do compared to causing deformation of the solid clasts.
Pore spaces are also preferential pathways of weakness through a material and as such fractures are more likely to form connecting up porous regions of a solid. As such the more porous a given material, the easier it will be for a fracture to propagate through it.
Also porous materials are more likely to contain water which can have a signficant impact by causing significant reductions in the materials the compressive strength.
