Abstract

This paper is particularly interesting since it provides unpublished data on the reinforcement carried out in 2006. Cross-sectioned plan and elevation drawings give a detailed account of the geometry, illustrating cracks and strains with precision. The building specifications of walls and masonry shells with poor mortar, the depth and bond of brick arches and the walled vaults and domes are also depicted. Non-linear structural damage models of the fractured structure were made to reproduce the settling of the foundation and its effect on the fracture of structural elements such as the dome, drum and the outer buttress. The paper also describes the stability analysis performed on the damaged construction elements, drum and dome. The criteria and intervention techniques applied and described are supported by the results of these analyses. The criteria and intervention techniques applied and described are supported by the results of these analyses.
