Parametric analysis of the dynamic behaviour of ENEL towers in Naples by means of ‘minimum’ model

The dynamic behaviour of two towering buildings in Naples (ENEL headquarters) is analysed by means of a “minimum” model, which allows to obtain approximate and quick indications about the static and dynamic behaviour of the real structure. The equations are integrated analytically in absence of plastic deformations in the dissipating devices and by means of a standard Runge-Kutta procedure otherwise. Useful information about design parametrs can thus be readily obtained.
