L’esigenza della sicurezza sismica nella ricostruzione di un minareto con le tecniche costruttive della tradizione

Research on the seismic safety of the Ummayyad Minaret in Aleppo reveals that its original masonry structure, despite surviving centuries of adversity, meets modern seismic safety standards. This finding justifies the use of traditional reconstruction techniques for the minaret, which was destroyed during recent conflicts. The study employed a combination of historical documentation and advanced structural analysis, comparing simplified global evaluations with nonlinear models to assess seismic capacity accurately. While the original construction methods demonstrated resilience, the research highlights the need to integrate modern technologies, such as specialized materials and strengthening criteria, to address gaps in contemporary knowledge about traditional techniques.
