Towers in San Gimignano: Metric Survey Approach
AbstractThis paper presents the contribution of geomatics to the Seismic Risk of Monumental Buildings (RiSEM) project and illustrates the metric survey that was conducted on several towers in San Gimignano. Three-dimensional (3D) models and other graphical documentation supported the seismic vulnerability assessment, as required by Italian regulations. After the evaluation of still available databases, a laser scanning technique was chosen for acquiring 3D and high-resolution data, providing an exhaustive description, albeit limited to the external walls, of the towers under investigation. Through the accurate analysis of the structures, different graphical outputs have been defined for documentation purposes, describing the geometric characteristics of the towers, and for the assessment of a structure’s stability.
