Abstract
Structural analysis in the dynamic field appears a particularly valid methodology in evaluating the behavior of the constructional solutions to particularly complex systems. The experimental determination of a structure's dynamic response can allow the development of a mathematical model that is able to simulate, with acceptable accuracy, the dynamic behavior of the real system. The model, which characterizes the structure, can then be used to interpret variations in the dynamic behavior subsequently detected in the real system, or to simulate unusual behavior when the corresponding input parameters can be defined. The present paper gives an example of this experimental methodology, analyzing the dynamic behavior of the cantilever roof of Favorita Stadium in Palermo.
