Abstract: The numerical analysis of slender cracked and uncracked masonry members—including nonlinear stress-strain relationship, self-weight, and vertical and lateral concentrated and distributed loads—is carried out. Analytical ...

Abstract: The analytical solutions for the deflections and for the critical load over which structural prismatic masonry collapses without reaching the compressive strength are presented. The analysis is developed by assuming that ...

Abstract: Analytical solutions are presented for deflections beyond the elastic limit for prismatic and nonprismatic beams (beams with linearly varying depth) restrained and loaded in any way. The analytical solutions provide by ...
