Lightweight cable–membrane structures can span large distances and undertake aesthetically pleasing shapes. They are widely used for roofs and modern structural canopies and in the aerospace industry for large on-board antenna reflectors that are to be deployed in space. This paper studies a wind-induced vibration under different cable stress relaxation conditions based on the wind load time-history to obtain the dynamic behavior of such a structure. Particularly, the focus is put upon its wind resistance in the event of stress relaxation. This research can provide an important reference for the design of wind resistance, damage assessment, and emergency maintenance for the spoke-wise cable–membrane structure (SCMS).

The Church of Gesù and the tower of the Cathedral were stricken and damaged by Emilia-Romagna earthquake sequence of May 2012. This paper presents the procedure for the structural identification of the most widespread types of religious monuments. The dynamic behavior was analyzed using the ambient vibrations test to measure the dynamical properties (mode of vibration, frequencies, displacements and damping ratios) of the constructions using a modal identification of output-only systems. The operational modal analysis OMA has been carried out to identify the modal characteristics through poly-reference Least Square Complex Frequency-domain (pLSFC) estimator. The global structural health monitoring was carried out to define the real dynamic behavior of the damaged constructions that are subjected to different mechanism. These researches are useful for the structural rehabilitation and to define the possible changes in the structural behavior.
