“…In the longitudinal arrangement, the sensors were not aligned along close to the buttresses and far from the centerline at the top of the roof of the building; in spite of that, it was along this line that the numerical model had predicted the largest longitudinal movements (Figure ). Similar observations have been obtained in the dynamic identification of other Gothic cathedrals .…”

SUMMARYThe presented research aimed at studying the dynamic behavior of Mallorca cathedral (Mallorca Island, Spain) under ambient sources of vibration and seismic events. The cathedral is one of the greatest built masonry structures worldwide. It is characterized for its audacious dimensions and slender structural members. Because of it, the study of its dynamic behavior is a clear concern. The cathedral dynamic properties were firstly identified using ambient vibration testing. Afterwards, a dynamic monitoring system was implemented to continuously measure, record, and wirelessly transfer the acceleration records without having to set up an activating threshold. This monitoring type was implemented because of the low seismic intensity of Mallorca Island with a basic ground acceleration of only 0.04 g according to the Spanish seismic standard. The continuous monitoring allowed for capturing some seismic events and some drops in the natural frequencies were noticed because of a breathing crack effect. Using both ambient vibration testing and continuous monitoring system, global modes could be more accurately identified than more local ones. The identification of the global modes was more attainable than in the case of more local ones. The temperature was a more influential environmental parameter than humidity and wind for all of the identified modes except for one more directly depended on wind.

“…It is noted that few built cultural heritage buildings in Famagusta have been studied before, given the difficult political situation, and that the present building is abandoned but not in ruined condition. A seismic assessment of other churches in the city can be found, [e.g., in Lourenço et al, 2012] for abandoned ruins and Votsis et al, [2015] for an in use cathedral, where also finite element modelling and non-destructives tests were performed. Other studies with similar procedures to the present research, which were successfully applied to complex masonry buildings, can be found, [e.g., in Mendes et al 2010;Marques et al, 2013;Roca et al, 2013 or Milani andValente, 2019].…”

This paper presents the analysis of the structural performance of the Armenian Church in Famagusta, Cyprus. Visual and photographic survey, non−destructive testing and numerical evaluation, using a tridimensional finite element model, are included. The non−linear be− havior is analyzed under gravity and seismic loading, and pushover and time−history analysis are performed, including in both cases bidi− rectional loading. Results are studied in terms of capacity curves and damage patterns. The influence of the Church mass−distribution is also evaluated. As a result, the analysis estimates an adequate safety level of the building and various real damage features of the Church are justified and attributed to seismic actions.
