Flood-induced load effects on real-scale structures: a 3D multilevel dynamic analysis

Umberto De Maio, Fabrizio Greco, Paolo Lonetti, Paolo Nevone Blasi, Girolamo Sgambitterra

In this work, the structural behavior of masonry buildings under flash flood actions is analyzed by using a novel 3D multilevel fluid/structure model. The proposed numerical framework consists of a macro-scale model based on the…

Quantifying the out-of-plane response of unreinforced masonry walls subjected to relative support motion

Michele Godio, Katrin Beyer

TThe supports of out-of-plane loaded unreinforced masonry walls in buildings are subjected to a motion that is filtered and amplified by the building structure and, in some cases, can be significantly different from the ground motion.…
