This paper presents the structural weak vibration analysis of the Colosseum due to both the current underground line and the perpendicular further line that will be opened shortly. The dynamic soil-structure interaction is studied by using numerical 3D models and refined with experimental data. The archeological study area of Rome is accurately reproduced by a finite element model including the monument structures and its disconnections, the soil layers and rail infrastructures. Monument structure and soil responses are carried out in terms of time-history, by varying the working conditions of trains. The results for a severe combination of train transits are presented and discussed for one “sample” structural cross section of the Colosseum.

Abstract

This paper presents the structural weak vibration analysis of the Colosseum due to both the current underground line and the perpendicular further line that will be opened shortly. The dynamic soil-structure interaction is studied by using numerical 3D models and refined with experimental data. The archeological study area of Rome is accurately reproduced by a finite element model including the monument structures and its disconnections, the soil layers and rail infrastructures. Monument structure and soil responses are carried out in terms of time-history, by varying the working conditions of trains. The results for a severe combination of train transits are presented and discussed for one “sample” structural cross section of the Colosseum.
