Abstract: A numerical model for the study of spatial structures consisting of curved, three-dimensional members with variable cross sections is presented, together with its application to the nonlinear geometric and material analysis ...

Abstract: This paper presents the systematic use of numerical analysis as a tool for addressing some of the most common challenges encountered in the structural analysis of complex historical masonry structures, that is, the description ...

Abstract: The structural assessment of large traditional and historical masonry buildings poses significant challenges due to the need for modeling complex geometries and nonlinear material behavior. Although sophisticated methods ...

Abstract: The paper presents the results of experimental research on the structural behavior of dry joint masonry. The most relevant experimental results concern the strength response of stone dry joint masonry walls subjected to ...
