For this reason, this masonry building allows the analysis of the typical complexities of masonry structures. Among these, the following will be highlighted: the evolution in the time, the interconnection among different constructions, addition of floors, the presence of different occupancy, foundations at different heights and the presence of alterations, as addition of openings. To discuss this issue, the complexities and their structural implications of San Carlo all’Arena Convent in Naples are analys ed. © 2022 The Authors. Published by ELSEVIER B.V.

Definition of complexities and structural implications Sorrentino P. a *, Brandonisio G. a , De Luca A. a a Dept. of Structures for Engineering and Architecture, University of Naples Federico II, Piazzale Tecchio 80, 80125 Naples, Italy Abstract In the present paper, the typical complexities of masonry structures are investigated and discussed throughout the case of San Carlo all’Arena Convent in order to underline their structural implications. It is a masonry building located in Naples that has a strong historical interest because of its different occupancy over time. It is part of an aggregate, with adjacent buildings with different height and a church. Located on a hill, the Convent case study is characterized by variable height and a rectangular plan with a courtyard. During its history, it was subjected to modifications, as the additions of parts in plan and of floors, and alterations, as openings which are often misaligned in vertical direction and are not characterized by the same sizes as the existing ones.
