Abstract
This paper presents the results of a numerical analysis aimed at investigating the response – in terms of damage occurrence and development – of a masonry building undergoing settlements induced by a slow-moving landslide. The analysis is performed by applying the Equivalent Frame Method to a model representative of a low-rise building with shallow foundations located in the historic centre of Lungro town (Calabria region, southern Italy). As a main novelty, data collected by way of both conventional (i.e. inclinometers) and innovative (i.e. DInSAR) monitoring techniques are used to derive the three-dimensional settlement trough to be imposed to the building model’s foundation in the numerical analyses. The obtained outcomes are compared with information gathered from multi-temporal damage surveys to the modeled building. Based on previous studies aimed at typifying the slow-moving landslides, the results obtained could concur to the generation of certain building-foundation-landslide typified models helpful for damage forecasting at the municipal scale.
