Abstract
The City Hall of Mirandola was stricken anddamaged by Emilia-Romagna earthquake sequence of May2012. The research suggests solutions for the rehabilitation of amasonry historic building that presents a serious damagepattern. The solutions includes the base isolation of the globalstructure. Through the historical analysis, the damage surveyand the mechanisms analysis were defined the macro-structureof the palace. Subsequently, was generated differentconfigurations based on the aggregation or separation of thefive macro-structure identified. The separation of theseproposed projects is done through the use of seismic isolatorsand dampers. It was carried out a simplified finite elementmodel and the linear elastic dynamic modal analysis wasperformed to evaluate the main modes of vibration of eachconfiguration, which correspond to the higher values ofpercentage of participating mass. Finally a response spectrumanalysis was performed with the use of data of the earthquakeof 29 May 2012. It going to evaluate the seismic behavior of allthe configurations.
