This paper describes a study carried out on the bell tower of the Church of Santas Justa and Rufina in Orihuela in the Province of Alicante, Spain. The study was made to predict the evolution of its dynamic behaviour in relation to subsidence caused by variations in the level of the water table during periods of drought. Initial calibration of the developed numerical model was based on the dynamic...
The present study evaluates the dynamic behaviour of a modern concrete bell tower built in 1994. The structure has an unusual geometrical shape, with a wall 20 m high and 0.40 m thick. The tower’s dynamic interaction with the forces caused by the bells swinging becomes clearly evident even without using instrumentation. In 1998 the structure was strengthened by means of a three-dimensional steel truss,...
