The results of the long-term vibration monitoring program, carried out on bell-tower Santa Maria del Carrobiolo in Monza (Italy), are reported paper. dynamic was motivated by weak structural layout historic building, with two fronts tower being supported load-bearing structures apse and South aisle adjacent church. Furthermore, closely spaced modes similar mode shapes were clearly identified from ambient tests, hence, modal parameters significantly differ those obtained past experimental...
One of the distinctive characteristics Milan Cathedral, built over a period more than 400 years, is presence iron ties under vaults all 5 naves. Those tension bars date back to age construction and still have an important role in supporting lateral thrust exerted by arches.After recent failure (November 2011) one tie-rod, extensive research program was carried out assess structural condition ties. The investigation included characterization metallic material, direct inspection evaluation...
A recent survey carried on the historic complex of Santa Maria del Carrobiolo in Monza (Italy) highlighted that two sides bell-tower are directly supported by load-bearing walls apse and South aisle neighboring church. After discovery weak structural arrangement building, static dynamic monitoring systems were installed tower to address its preservation. a brief description results preliminary survey, paper presents selected continuous as well evidences provided monitoring.
The Milan Cathedral, constructed over a period of more than 400 years, is one the few Gothic cathedrals where permanent metallic tie-rods are installed under all naves to support portion lateral thrust exerted by vaults and arches. After recent failure tie-rod, an extensive research program was carried out characterize material evaluate axial forces tensile stresses through dynamic testing system identification. description methodology adopted in assessment paper presents main results...
One of the most remarkable structural elements characterizing Milan Cathedral is its Main Spire, built in Candoglia marble and completed 1769. The reaching height about 108 m supporting statue Virgin Mary, 40 high stands on octagonal tiburio erected around main dome. arrangement spire includes a central column which connected through spiral staircase to 8 perimeter columns each stiffened by inverse flying buttress. Metallic clamps dowels connect blocks metallic rods core. A large monitoring...
