摘要

The preservation of historical structures presents a multitude of challenges for those dedicated to maintaining our architectural heritage. Therefore, a meticulous study is essential for obtaining realistic outcomes. In this paper an 1145’s masonry tower is analyzed. A site visit was instrumental in gathering point cloud data and geometric properties, which were subsequently utilized for drafting in REVIT software and exported to MIDAS GEN using BIM features. The Finite Element (FE) model was then calibrated by minimizing the discrepancy between its eigen frequency and the results obtained from experimental tests using accelerograms. To verify the model’s accuracy, the Modal Assurance Criterion (MAC) number was computed. We then calculated the acoustic pressure generated by a concert held near the tower and its impact on the tower in terms of stress and displacement for static loads, and acceleration, velocity, and displacement for dynamic models. By reversing the process, we determined the minimum acoustic pressure that could potentially damage the building. Furthermore, accelerometers placed at the base of the tower during the concert were used to observe the combined effects of jumping people and acoustic pressure. The comparaison is performed between the experimental methods of investigation: by ambient noise to obtain an equivalent global elastic modulus E of the tower. The loads came from concert (acoustic and ground motion) may cause damage on the tower because it may exceed the threshold allowed in Italian code.
