The structural calculation of Church St. Giorgio Donnalucata was developed with the latest structural modeling software as required by MD January 14, 2008 (New Seismic) in force since 1 July 2009.
Therefore prior to carry out checks of the structure was carried out a campaign of soil tests to characterize the soil on which the church will be based in the realization of two large surveys in which a continuous core drilling to a depth of 35.00 ml test seismic hole Down Hole and uniaxial compression tests crushed rock performed at the Laboratory of Geotechnics, University of Catania.
From this year investigation revealed a layer of Type "A" according to the seismic classification is the best.
Choosing a good site is the foundation of any structural choice because the building seismic actions are transmitted from the soil if the soil is poor and any choice can not be right for seismic safety.
It was subsequently developed the structural model is very complex due to the particular form of design for the type of coverage chosen.
The roof has a span of about 25.00 ml resting on 23 pillars and edge beams leaving the space inside the church is unique and made with laminated wood beams of dimensions of 35x100 cm double weaving (with plate behavior) plays old drawers in the churches of 400.
This imposing bell tower will be built with about 30 ml septa are perforated concrete for the installation of bells and the achievement of the cross.
The basement to make this event as the unique environment without any obstacles were adopted prefabricated floor slabs can cover spans of up to 12 ml.
Finally, the roof of the rectory and the particular semicircular curves will be made with laminated wood beams of size 14x20 cm which would be based on all wooden roof.
