ND diagnosis of the tie-rods stress of the Rocca di Fontanellato (Parma)

Dynamical test at Rocca Sanvitale di Fontanellato (Parma) (12-10-07)

 

At the Rocca Sanvitale di Fontanellato (Parma)

 

the tie-rods load detection has been conductec with a ND method, based on the dynamical response of the tie-rods. The method is non-invasive and destructive.

Tests at the Rocca Sanvitale

 

 

Experimental and numerical results indicates that some of the tie-rods are over-loaded while some others are not working at all, due to the anchorage damage.
