“…It is worth mentioning that such calculated cross section is comparable to those of existing in other Gothic churches. For instance, the cross sections of the ties of Milano Cathedral range between 35 cm² and 55 cm² (Vasic, 2013).…”

This paper presents the analysis of the structure of Mallorca Cathedral taking into account the influence on structural behaviour of auxiliary iron ties used during the construction process. Recent studies have presented some hypotheses about the construction process of the cathedral. The present study complements the previous results by considering the use of auxiliary ties as temporary stabilizing device during the construction.Evidence of the use of ties during the construction has been recognized after a comprehensive survey. The study of the role of such ties and the effect of their later removal are studied by a FE analysis carried out on a representative bay of the structure. The study includes a time-dependent FE analysis after the removal of the ties to assess the long-term structural behaviour. The results of the numerical analysis are compared with the deformation trends identified by means of a recent monitoring campaign.

“…The monitoring design was initially based on: (i) the prior knowledge of the Cathedral and its history (see e.g., [2,3]); (ii) the results emerged from the completion of a comprehensive dynamic investigations on the metallic tie-rods [4,5] and the preliminary observations on the dynamic characteristics of the Cathedral; (iii) the inventory of the sensors installed in the church and still regularly operating.…”

“…The critical analysis of several documents and the inspection of the available experimental information allowed to identify the sub-structures to be specifically considered in the new monitoring system: (a) selected piers of apse, tiburio, façade and transept; (b) the tie-rods subjected to high tensile stress (of the order of 100 MPa or higher) or affected by slight damage [4,5] and (c) the main spire [6].…”

“…The static monitoring system consists of the following sensors: (Figure 3a) on 10 metallic tie-rods subjected [5] to tensile stress exceeding 100 MPa (highlighted in red in Figure 3a), on 3 tension bars (in modern steel) connecting the tiburio piers and on tie-rods 38-72 and 57-87 exhibiting slight damage [5,6].…”

“…It is worth mentioning that immediately before the installation of the extensometers on the iron ties (scheduled on May 2018), the dynamic assessment previously carried out [5] to estimate the tensile load of each tie-rod will be repeated with the two-fold objective of verifying that no significant change occurred (for example, associated to thermal effects) and obtaining a sound estimate of the tensile stress exactly corresponding to the beginning of monitoring activity.…”

Abstract:The Milan Cathedral, built between 1386 and 1813, is one of the largest masonry monuments ever built. After a brief description of the Cathedral, the paper presents the conceptual design of the monitoring system aimed at assisting the condition-based structural maintenance of the historic building. To the authors' knowledge, the presented monitoring system is the largest ever implemented in a Cultural Heritage monument; in addition, appropriate strategies of Structural Health Monitoring have been developed for the continuous interrogation of sensors installed in the structure and the extraction from measured data of features which are representative of the current state of structural health.
