POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS BEFORE AND IMMEDIATELY AFTER<br />
EARTHQUAKE<br />
PROF. CLAUDIO MODENA<br />
Structural modelling: FEM<br />
The numerical simulation of Reggio Emilia Cathedral considered in the first instance several linear elastic<br />
Finite Element models. All of them represented the global Cathedral’s structure, since the overall<br />
dynamic response can not be evaluated by considering partial models.<br />
From the first model, considering the structures of the Cathedral as disconnected from the other<br />
adjacent buildings, several refinement were introduced, subsequently applying lateral constraints <strong>and</strong><br />
then adding portions of the surrounding structures: the final model can be considered acceptable for<br />
dynamic identification purposes.<br />
