In this paper, the latest identification techniques both in the time and in the frequency domains, are applied to the data obtained from the dynamic monitoring of the reinforced concrete tower of the Provincial Administration Building of Bari (Italy). The tower, dating back to the thirties of the 20th century and about 60 m tall, is not only a typical example of the fascist architectural style, but it is an important symbol of the city itself. The extraction of the modal parameters from ambient vibration data has been carried out by using the ARTeMIS Extractor Pro 2010 software. Three different Operational Modal Analysis (OMA) methods have been utilized: EFDD, SSI and Crystal Clear-SSI. The first two couples of bending mode shapes are also estimated and shown.

Abstract
In this paper, the latest identification techniques both in the time and in the frequency domains, are applied to the data obtained from the dynamic monitoring of the reinforced concrete tower of the Provincial Administration Building of Bari (Italy). The tower, dating back to the thirties of the 20th century and about 60 m tall, is not only a typical example of the fascist architectural style, but it is an important symbol of the city itself. The extraction of the modal parameters from ambient vibration data has been carried out by using the ARTeMIS Extractor Pro 2010 software. Three different Operational Modal Analysis (OMA) methods have been utilized: EFDD, SSI and Crystal Clear-SSI. The first two couples of bending mode shapes are also estimated and shown.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
