An in-depth survey was carried out in situ on the masonry bell tower of the Santa Maria del Carmine Church in the city of Naples, Italy. The analyses followed a multidisciplinary approach to identify its architectural and structural features, to identify the materials used and the state of damage and interventions made in various periods, to assess the stress state in the masonry under gravity loads, and to define its dynamic behavior. The information gathered represents the starting point for designing a seismic upgrade to meet the standards applied to historic monuments.

Abstract

An in-depth survey was carried out in situ on the masonry bell tower of the Santa Maria del Carmine Church in the city of Naples, Italy. The analyses followed a multidisciplinary approach to identify its architectural and structural features, to identify the materials used and the state of damage and interventions made in various periods, to assess the stress state in the masonry under gravity loads, and to define its dynamic behavior. The information gathered represents the starting point for designing a seismic upgrade to meet the standards applied to historic monuments.
