Analysis of the Historical Settlements of the Giralda

The preservation of the cultural heritage is a current challenge for modern societies. Thus, it is important to analyse the structural behaviour of historical buildings in order to detect and prevent future damage.

This paper analyses the historical settlements of the Giralda tower of the Cathedral of Seville. Currently, it has a tilt which might have been caused by a differential settlement. With this aim, a detailed characterisation of the foundation and its geotechnical model has been carried out. An accurate 3D Finite Elements Model (FEM) has been used to analyse the settlements, taking into account the different construction phases, the loads, the time of execution and consolidation between phases. Finally, the 3D FEM results have been compared with other previous works and the in-situ measurements of the verticality of the tower. Therefore, the authors have found that the tilt to the south-east direction has been caused by the thicker, soft strata under this corner, which has caused differential settlement in this direction. Moreover, it should be highlighted that a good agreement between the settlements of the model and its real top displacements has been obtained.Francis & TaylorEstructuras de Edificación e Ingeniería del Terreno2022info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://hdl.handle.net/11441/135733https://doi.org/10.1080/15583058.2022.2034070reponame:idUS.

description The preservation of the cultural heritage is a current challenge for modern societies. Thus, it is important to analyse the structural behaviour of historical buildings in order to detect and prevent future damage.
