Overview

Empirical analyses demonstrate how geometric features impact fundamental frequencies in masonry towers, suggesting preservation strategies.

Key Points

  • This research aims to assess how geometric features affect the natural frequencies of historic masonry towers.
  • Conducted parametric analyses using a simplified Euler–Bernoulli beam model of masonry towers.
  • Developed empirical formulas for estimating fundamental frequencies based on geometric factors.
  • Performed regression analysis on existing data from technical literature.
  • Identified significant sensitivity of fundamental frequency to geometric and mechanical properties.
  • Demonstrated that specific geometric parameters have greater influence than others.
  • Provided insights for planning experimental investigations to improve frequency predictions.
