On Site Investigation and Health Monitoring of a Historic Tower in Mantua, Italy

On Site Investigation and Health Monitoring of a Historic Tower in Mantua, Italy

The paper describes the strategy adopted to assess the structural condition of the tallest historic tower in Mantua (Italy) after the Italian seismic sequence of May–June 2012 and exemplifies the application of health monitoring using (automated) operational modal analysis. The post-earthquake surve...
