Seismic Assessment of Ancient Masonry Structures

The present work presents an investigation about the capabilities of limit analysis of rigid block assemblages in the structural assessment of ancient masonry constructions. A review about the basic concepts of limit analysis and previous works in the subject is made. A formulation of limit analysis for materials with non-associated ﬂow rules is adopted in order to represent the non-dilatant friction failure mode in masonry. Two computer tools are developed for two and three dimensional models,respectively. The yield functions proposed are capable to take into account limited compressive stresses.
