Abstract

A static analysis of the Pomposa Abbey is proposed with the aim of verifying the effects of the tower self weight on the present deformed configuration of the church and the structural efficiency of the internal buttresses, added as reinforcements to the whole construction. In this paper the Authors present a kind of reinforcement to be considered as alternative to the existing ones; the proposal is supported by a numerical simulation carried out on a 3-D model of the Abbey, discretised and analised with FEM techniques. The structural solution is statically reliable and it allows to recover the unity of the internal space and to preserv
