Abstract


Este artículo examina el proceso de medición, la ejecución de levantamientos y la representación de la cúpula de Santa Maria della Sanità en Nápoles (Italia). El estudio produjo un análisis geométrico de la configuración espacial de la cúpula, el diseño de su decoración de mayólica y el estudio de su comportamiento estructural. Los objetivos generales de esta investigación pueden resumirse brevemente como sigue. En primer lugar, la investigación se centra en la definición de la geometría correcta de la cúpula obtenida mediante levantamientos detallados. Por último, el presente trabajo realiza un análisis estructural simplificado del conjunto cúpula-sistema de contrarresto dentro del marco teórico del Análisis Límite a través de la estática gráfica.
