The scientific community is hardly working to propose reliable methodologies of analysis
and non-invasive technologies of investigation to assess the current state of conservation of …

The behavior of eight historical masonry towers, located in the North-East region of Italy, is
analyzed under horizontal loads by means of detailed 3D FE models. The geometry of the …

The seismic vulnerability assessment of eight historical masonry towers, located in the North-
East region of Italy, is carried out by means of simplified approaches. Three-dimensional …

Masonry bell towers represent a large portion of the Italian cultural heritage and are highly
vulnerable to seismic actions mainly due to their relevant slenderness, as also observed in …

This paper describes the analysis performed for the characterization of the dynamic
structural behavior of the bell tower of “Nuestra Sra. de la Misericordia Church”(Valencia …

Ten existing masonry towers, located in the coastal Po Valley (Italy), are analysed in the
presence of seismic excitations. They show some affinities which justify a comparative …

In this paper, numerical insights on the seismic behavior of a non-isolated historical masonry
tower are presented and discussed. The tower under study is the main tower of the fortress …

After a brief introduction on the research project RiSEM (Seismic Risk of Monumental
Buildings), the paper discusses on the seismic assessment of historic masonry towers …

The paper presents an advanced seismic assessment of four masonry bell towers located in
Northern Italy based on detailed 3D FE models on which elastic parameters were previously …

Three inclined historical masonry towers, located in the city of Ferrara (North-East region of
