Typology: R.C.
Municipality: San Felice sul Panaro
Distance from epicenter: 9 km
Damage Typology
Transverse dislocation of some spans (approximately 27 cm). The action of the seismic sequence along the longitudinal axis of the deck induced the mutual pounding of deck beams, as well as residual displacements (up to 20 cm).
Figure 1. Peak residual transverse displacement equal to 27 cm.
Figure 2. Displacement at south abutment.
Figure 3. Another detail of the support in correspondence of the south abutment.
Figure 4. Another detail in correspondence of the south abutment: containment vertical spandrel.
