Rigid block and finite element analysis of settlement-induced failure mechanisms in historic masonry wall panels

Raffaele Gagliardo, Lucrezia Cascini, Francesco Portioli, Raffaele Landolfo, Giovanni Tomaselli, Marialaura Malena, Gianmarco de Felice

The paper is related to the assessment of collapse mechanisms of historic masonry structures suffering settlements induced by ground movements. Two numerical strategies are adopted in order to study the influence of the settled zone on the…

Formulating the in-plane frictional resistances and collapse mechanisms for multi-storey masonry block walls

Luca Umberto Argiento, Alessandra Maione, Claudia Casapulla

In this paper a macro-block model accounting for frictional resistances is presented to assess the lateral strength of a multi-storey masonry block wall. The kinematic approach of limit analysis is used to define the load factor causing…
