The results of an ambient-vibration based investigation conducted on a historical tower in
Italy, to update the 3-D finite element model of the building are presented in this work. The …

Abstract The Goodwin Hall Smart Infrastructure facility at Virginia Tech is a five-story “smart
building” with an integrated network of 225 wired accelerometers. This study utilizes a …

In this paper, finite element model (FEM) updating of masonry minarets was conducted by
using dynamic characteristics obtained from Operational Modal Analysis (OMA). For …

This paper shows the results of an experimental analysis on the bell tower of “Chiesa della
Maddalena”(Mola di Bari, Italy), to better understand the structural behavior of slender …

Masonry towers, located in seismic zones, are vulnerable and prone to damages up to
compromise their stability. The scatter of data on the mechanical properties of masonry …

In the present article non-destructive testing evaluation of the existing damage evolution has
been applied to some buildings of the medieval town of Craco (Matera, Italy) and, in …

Compared with other diagnostic techniques, which are limited to the local investigation, the
structural dynamic monitoring allows to obtain information about seismic response and …

Damage detection in civil engineering structures using changes in measured modal
parameters is an area of research that has received notable attention in literature in recent …

The aim of the paper is to present a structural characterization of the bell tower of the
Cathedral of Trani (Bari, Italy) collecting the data of two different non-destructive techniques …

An accurate knowledge of the dynamical parameters of structures is definitely useful for
seismic assessment and for the design of risk mitigation interventions. In this paper, the …
