МКЭ-анализ несущей системы башни Азинелли в Болонье

Abstract

FEA of a load-bearing system for well-known Asinelli’s tower is provided. Threelayer model “outer brick – filling – inner brick” is developed for historic tower walls. Frictional contact pair is created between the tower itself and the basement. Static simulation of gravity and hurricane loading is fulfilled. Stress state harmonization between outer and inner brick shells is revealed. Equal compression stress margins for bricks and filler are discovered. Hurricane wind isn’t able to produce tension stress in any part of the tower. So crack propagation is suppressed.
