The results are presented of some numerical analyses carried out to determine the stress state in the Civic Tower of Pavia (Italy) induced by the self-weight and by wind effects. The mechanical properties of masonry were determined from experiments, supplemented by detailed numerical simulations.

Abstract

The results are presented of some numerical analyses carried out to determine the stress state in the Civic Tower of Pavia (Italy) induced by the self-weight and by wind effects. The mechanical properties of masonry were determined from experiments, supplemented by detailed numerical simulations. A reasonable hypothesis was formulated for the collapse of the Tower according to the computed stress state which was particularly high in some parts of the building.
