Palazzo Pica Alfieri is one the most important buildings damaged by the 2009 L’Aquila earthquake. Splendid ancient frescoes decorate the vaulted ceilings of the building, now under restoration. Most of the vaults are made by thin brick tiles and will be retrofitted using the method known as “GFRP reinforced Catalan vault”, recently proposed by the authors (Borri. A., Castori G., Corradi M., Vetturini, R., 2013) (Borri, A., Castori, G., Corradi, M., 2014). This paper includes a preliminary analysis of the building, of its history and of the damage produced by the 2009 earthquake. Details of the damage of the vaulted ceilings will be given. A new application of the reinforcement method will be justified and presented which can be applied on large thin vaults. The reinforcement procedures and critical points will be also contained and discussed within this paper.

Abstract
Palazzo Pica Alfieri is one the most important buildings damaged by the 2009 L’Aquila earthquake. Splendid ancient frescoes decorate the vaulted ceilings of the building, now under restoration. Most of the vaults are made by thin brick tiles and will be retrofitted using the method known as “GFRP reinforced Catalan vault”, recently proposed by the authors (Borri. A., Castori G., Corradi M., Vetturini, R., 2013) (Borri, A., Castori, G., Corradi, M., 2014). This paper includes a preliminary analysis of the building, of its history and of the damage produced by the 2009 earthquake. Details of the damage of the vaulted ceilings will be given. A new application of the reinforcement method will be justified and presented which can be applied on large thin vaults. The reinforcement procedures and critical points will be also contained and discussed within this paper.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
