Abstract

The seismic assessment of historical structures necessitates considering conservation and safety objectives as well as the possible presence of cultural heritage assets. To this end, this paper emphasises the results of a seismic evaluation procedure carried out by the authors on an illustrative case of study, the Palace of Priors in Perugia, that in addition to being one of the most important local governor buildings built, during the High Middle Ages, by Italian communes of Central Italy, it is characterized by the presence of a lot of artistic assets as well. Within this context, strong emphasis was placed on the seismic risk assessment of the structure carried out with reference to the Italian guidelines for heritage protection and conservation. More specifically, the paper investigates and critically discusses the seismic response of the building by using 3 different types of evaluation: territorial level analysis (LV1), local level analysis (LV2) and global level analysis (LV3).

note = "Funding Information: The research presented in this paper is part of a national project (ARCUS), supported by the Italian Ministry of Cultural Heritage, Activities and Tourism (MiBACT), and it is aimed at investigating retrofitting interventions for Italy{\textquoteright}s earthquake risk museums, evidencing how an accurate assessment of a masonry monument or an historic building is a high priority. More specifically, the paper analyzes the results of a structural investigations performed on a medieval monumental building, the Palace of Priors in Perugia (Italy), that currently houses an important museum. Within this framework, the seismic risk of the structure was investigated using 3 different types of seismic analysis (LV1, LV2 and LV3) [8–10]. The first type of analysis (LV1) was conducted using a territorial scale strategy and it consisted in a simplified assessment of the collapse acceleration of the building. The second type of analysis (LV2) was based on the kinematics theorems of the limit analysis (macro-element approach) performed to analyze the structural safety of single structural elements. The last type of analysis (LV3) was performed using a nonlinear static analysis (global analysis) of the entire structure under seismic loading. Funding Information: Acknowledgments.
