Homogenization Approach for the Limit Analysis of Out-of-Plane Loaded Masonry Walls
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper addresses the usage of a simplified homogenization technique for the analysis of masonry subjected to out-of-plane loading. The anisotropic failure surface, based on the definition of a polynomial representation ...
Validation of Analytical Multiparameter Homogenization Models for Out-of-Plane Loaded Masonry Walls by Means of the Finite Element Method
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The linear elastic analysis of in-plane and out-of-plane loaded masonry walls is still significant under service loads and is required by codes of practice, therefore the knowledge of the homogenized mechanical properties ...
Influence of Stereotomy on Discrete Approaches Applied to an Ancient Church in Muccia, Italy
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This work evaluated the remarkable influence of stereotomy on discrete methods adopted for the dynamic response of an ancient masonry structure. The historic building used as a case study is the Church of Santa Maria of ...
