Description
Summary:After the earthquake that struck the Molise Region (Italy), some ENEA researchers were involved in several post-seismic activities in San Giuliano di Puglia. Ancient and notable masonry cultural heritage structures (MCUHESs) suffered severe damage or partial collapse, including the old Marchesale Castle. This paper deals with a repairing proposal of the building, developed in the framework of a PhD thesis, elaborating diagnostics and dynamic campaigns results, providing numerical calculations and suggesting interventions in agreement with the existing code. Its main purpose is to enhance the building's seismic performance, avoiding conflicts between conservation and safety.
