The recent Central Italy Earthquake damaged the “Ermete Novelli” Theatre in Grottazzolina: an early XX century masonry building. The building is classified as relevant Cultural Heritage Building both for architectural contents and functional aims. For these reasons it was under both structural assessment evaluation and functional rehabilitation design before the Earthquake events. The seismic response during seismic series was different with respect to the expected behaviour. A new comprehensive (geometrical, geotechnical, structural, acoustic, thermal and architecture) study of the building was commissioned. In particular both the Architecture and Engineering Departments of Chieti-Pescara University are involved in this analysis. An integrated multidisciplinary diagnostic approach was defined and carried out. Assuming that previous structural and material data have been correctly collected, the hypothesis that an incorrect or insufficient data evaluation has been carried out is now formulated. The starting point was a new in situ campaign: a geometrical survey (laser scanning), a damage evaluation (according to Italian Code parameters), geophysical and micro-seismic tests are carried out in synergy together. The integrated multidisciplinary diagnostic approach is necessary in order to coordinate a wide range of data. So, the classical historical analyses are integrated with virtual 3D laser scanning modelling and thermal camera scanning: in this manner a lot of relevant data on constructive procedure and lack of coherence in structural texture are efficiently obtained. In parallel both acoustic and lighting characterizations, not reported in this paper, have permitted to define the state of the art in Theatre fruition and to image a new radically different use of scenic and audience spaces. This first phase analysis was very encouraging: in particular an archive consultation has permitted to individuate a clear constructive mistake carried out during a recent (1984) structural retrofitting. This mistake was confirmed by means of a historical analysis, archive researches, in situ geometrical and thermographic surveys. A more efficient evaluation of structural damage was also carried out. More robust retrofitting hypotheses have been defined until today.

Abstract: | The recent Central Italy Earthquake damaged the “Ermete Novelli” Theatre in Grottazzolina: an early XX century masonry building. The building is classified as relevant Cultural Heritage Building both for architectural contents and functional aims. For these reasons it was under both structural assessment evaluation and functional rehabilitation design before the Earthquake events. The seismic response during seismic series was different with respect to the expected behaviour. A new comprehensive (geometrical, geotechnical, structural, acoustic, thermal and architecture) study of the building was commissioned. In particular both the Architecture and Engineering Departments of Chieti-Pescara University are involved in this analysis. An integrated multidisciplinary diagnostic approach was defined and carried out. Assuming that previous structural and material data have been correctly collected, the hypothesis that an incorrect or insufficient data evaluation has been carried out is now formulated. The starting point was a new in situ campaign: a geometrical survey (laser scanning), a damage evaluation (according to Italian Code parameters), geophysical and micro-seismic tests are carried out in synergy together. The integrated multidisciplinary diagnostic approach is necessary in order to coordinate a wide range of data. So, the classical historical analyses are integrated with virtual 3D laser scanning modelling and thermal camera scanning: in this manner a lot of relevant data on constructive procedure and lack of coherence in structural texture are efficiently obtained. In parallel both acoustic and lighting characterizations, not reported in this paper, have permitted to define the state of the art in Theatre fruition and to image a new radically different use of scenic and audience spaces. This first phase analysis was very encouraging: in particular an archive consultation has permitted to individuate a clear constructive mistake carried out during a recent (1984) structural retrofitting. This mistake was confirmed by means of a historical analysis, archive researches, in situ geometrical and thermographic surveys. A more efficient evaluation of structural damage was also carried out. More robust retrofitting hypotheses have been defined until today. |
