Minimum energy strategies for the in-plane behaviour of masonry

Antonio Gesualdo, Bruno Calderoni, Antonino Iannuzzo, Antonio Fortunato, Michela Monaco

Unreinforced masonry is the most diffused construction material in the major part of historical centers in Europe. In a building subjected to earthquake forces the contribution of in-plane shear resistance of the masonry walls is a…

Seismic vulnerability analysis of reinforced concrete frame with infill wall considering in-plane and out-of-plane interactions

Dan Wang

The seismic performance of a building hinges on the seismic capacity and damage features of the reinforced concrete (RC) frame with masonry infill walls. To reasonably evaluate the seismic performance and seismic economic loss of masonry…

Elementi di interfaccia per l’analisi di strutture murarie

Elio Sacco, Jessica Toti

The present paper deals with the modelling of the mechanical behaviour of masonry elements regarded as heterogeneous systems, made of mortar, bricks and interfaces. Thus, the adopted computational strategy consists in modelling the brick…

Simplified FEM modelling for the collapse assessment of a masonry vault

Pierluigi Olmati, Dr, Konstantinos Gkoumas, Dr, Franco Bontempi, Prof.

This study is motivated from the collapse of an old masonry building in the Southern Italy. FEM analyses are carried out focusing on the influence of the contrasting wall on the stability of the vault. In the analyses, the structure is…

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.…
