This study concerns the structural stability of the famous “Torre degli Asinelli” in Bologna. This building is the tallest and, with the Garisenda tower, the most undisputed symbol of the City. To analyze the stability conditions of the tower the Acoustic Emission (AE) technique was used. This approach is particularly effective when it is necessary to analyze the influence of repetitive or impulsive phenomena - such as the vehicles traffic actions, or the effect of wind and earthquakes - on the damage evolution of a structure.

Abstract
This study concerns the structural stability of the famous “Torre degli Asinelli” in Bologna. This building is the tallest and, with the Garisenda tower, the most undisputed symbol of the City. To analyze the stability conditions of the tower the Acoustic Emission (AE) technique was used. This approach is particularly effective when it is necessary to analyze the influence of repetitive or impulsive phenomena - such as the vehicles traffic actions, or the effect of wind and earthquakes - on the damage evolution of a structure.Pubblicazioni consigliate
