FE Modeling of a Historic Masonry Tower and Vibration-based Systematic Model Tuning GENTILE Carmelo1,a and SAISI Antonella1,b 1 Dept. of Structural Engineering, Politecnico di Milano, Milan, Italy a gentile@stru.polimi.it, bsaisi@ stru.polimi.it Abstract The paper presents and discusses the procedure developed for the calibration of the structural FE model of a Bell-Tower, within a wide investigation program aimed to support the preservation and restoration actions.
It is worth noting that the assumed value was suggested either by engineering judgement or by the results of sonic tests while exhaustive tests to evaluate the mechanical characteristics of the stone masonry are not yet available.
