Deep learning for structural health monitoring: An application to heritage structures
Fabio Carrara, Fabrizio Falchi, Maria Girardi +3
Thanks to recent advancements in numerical methods, computer power, and monitoring technology, seismic ambient noise provides precious information about the structural behavior of…
The influence of deflections on the static and dynamic behaviour of masonry columns
M. Girardi, C. Padovani, D. Pellegrini
This paper studies the influence of bending deflections on the structural behaviour of masonry columns. Some explicit solutions are presented, and the combined effects of the const…
The natural frequencies of masonry beams
Maria Girardi
The present paper aims at analytically evaluating the natural frequencies of cracked slender masonry elements. The problem is dealt with in the framework of linear perturbation, an…
A finite element model updating method based on global optimization
Maria Girardi, Cristina Padovani, Daniele Pellegrini +1
Finite element model updating of a structure made of linear elastic materials is based on the solution of a minimization problem. The goal is to find some unknown parameters of the…
Ambient vibrations of age-old masonry towers: results of long-term dynamic monitoring in the historic centre of Lucca
Riccardo Mario Azzara, Maria Girardi, Valerio Iafolla +3
The paper presents the results of an ambient vibration monitoring campaign conducted on so-called Clock Tower (Torre delle Ore), one the best known and most visited monuments in th…
A model updating procedure to enhance structural analysis in the FE code NOSA-ITACA
M. Girardi, C. Padovani, D. Pellegrini +1
This paper describes the model updating procedure implemented in NOSA-ITACA, a finite-element code for the structural analysis of masonry constructions of historical interest. The…
Finite element model updating for structural applications
Maria Girardi, Cristina Padovani, Daniele Pellegrini +2
A novel method for performing model updating on finite element models is presented. The approach is particularly tailored to modal analyses of buildings, by which the lowest freque…
Modal Analysis of Masonry Structures
Maria Girardi, Cristina Padovani, Daniele Pellegrini
This paper presents a new numerical procedure for evaluating the vibration frequencies and mode shapes of masonry buildings in the presence of cracks. The algorithm has been implem…
