Abstract

This paper investigates whether it is possible to identify the influence of soil conditions on the modal parameters of the structure for damage detection and overall structural health monitoring. To do so, the data gathered on a large monumental building damaged by differ-ential settlements are analyzed. In particular the dynamic response of the case study, a large monumental masonry building, was experimentally investigated within an operational modal analysis (OMA) campaign. Mechanical data obtained from the geophysical tests were in turn employed to build and characterize a numerical model of the soil underlying and sur-rounding the building. The resulting model was then used to study the sensitivity of the mod-al charasteristics of the building with respect to variations of external environmental factors (e.g., the water table level) which affect the underlying soil. The results obtained from this numerical study is deemed to represent a starting point for future experimental tests and investigations, whose final aim is relating ambient vibration measurement to the occurrence of differential settlements or subsidence, in order to detect progressive, and possibly pathological, behaviors.
