Abstract

The structural and seismic assessment of the 19th-century Petruzzelli theater in Bari (Italy) is presented. The macro-elements strategy was adopted to dismantle the whole structure in parts. The steel dome was verified through dynamic multi-modal analysis based on finite element model. Each masonry macro-element was firstly verified through a kinematic analysis aiming at excluding local collapse mechanisms. Afterwards, a nonlinear static analysis was carried out in order to evaluate its overall seismic capacity. The effectiveness of linear or nonlinear analyses and of the macro-element strategy compared with other modeling techniques is also discussed. After highlighting the structural deficiencies of the theater, upgrading solutions are proposed with consideration of the safety needs and the architectural preservation requirements based on the historical importance of the building.
