Dynamic Monitoring and Seismic Response of a Historic Masonry Tower

Abstract:

After the Italian earthquakes of May 2012, an extensive research program had been performed to assess the state of preservation of the tallest historic tower in Mantua, Italy. Subsequently, a continuous dynamic monitoring system was installed in the tower, with seismic and structural health monitoring purposes. After a brief description of the investigated tower and its state of preservation, the paper summarizes some results of the long-term dynamic monitoring.
