Past Restorations and Current Damages in a Building Affected by Seismic Events (2016): The Stronghold of Arquata Del Tronto (Italy)
The Stronghold of Arquata del Tronto was seriously damaged by the seismic events in 2016. Indeed, the stability of the curtain walls is threatened by cracks in the masonry, and even, in some places, disintegration. The latter is generally attributable to the low-level adhesiveness of ancient mortars but, in this case, it is evident that the washout effect is due to lack of maintenance and to the poor connective construction of walls rebuilt in 1992/93. The damage is generally located in the masonry that was extensively restored in the 20th century and, to a lesser extent, in earlier periods. Such repairs were carried out frequently in an area with strong seismic activity. An analysis of instability is an important key to understanding the stronghold’s construction history. It is also an essential tool to correctly interpreting the structure’s static instability. In order to identify and measure it by means of numerical models, a meticulous in-depth analysis of the stronghold’s construction phases is needed, and this can be carried out through the use of archaeological tools - the stratigraphy of the elevations - and the study of written sources. Only by studying these questions will it be possible to plan accurate measurements and adequate designs for future repairs.
