The aim of the paper is to present the dynamical identification of the bell tower of the Cathedral of Trani (Bari, Italy). The tower, built in 1200, is about 60 meters high and has a square plan with a side of about 7.50 meters; moreover it is connected to the church through a step supported by a pointed arch. The tower vibrations due to ambient actions have been recorded and analyzed with different modern algorithms in such a way as to estimate the modal parameters of the tower. The identified modal parameters were utilized to evaluate the dynamic interaction between the tower and the church and some mechanical properties of the structural elements.

Abstract
The aim of the paper is to present the dynamical identification of the bell tower of the Cathedral of Trani (Bari, Italy). The tower, built in 1200, is about 60 meters high and has a square plan with a side of about 7.50 meters; moreover it is connected to the church through a step supported by a pointed arch. The tower vibrations due to ambient actions have been recorded and analyzed with different modern algorithms in such a way as to estimate the modal parameters of the tower. The identified modal parameters were utilized to evaluate the dynamic interaction between the tower and the church and some mechanical properties of the structural elements.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
