Lower-bound Analysis of Masonry Vaults
This paper applies Thrust-Network Analysis, a three-dimensional computational method for obtaining lower-bound solutions of masonry vaults with complex geometries. The method extends thrust-line analysis to three-dimensional problems by finding equilibrium force networks within the vault’s geometry, representing possible paths of the compression forces. Through two case studies, this paper demo...
متن کاملExperimental Analysis of Dynamic Effects of FRP Reinforced Masonry Vaults
An increasing interest in the preservation of historic structures has produced a need for new methods for reinforcing curved masonry structures, such as arches and vaults. These structures are generally very ancient, have geometries and materials which are poorly defined and have been exposed to long-term historical movements and actions. Consequently, they are often in need of repair or reinfo...
متن کاملComputational Methods for Masonry Vaults: A Review of Recent Results
The present paper makes a critical review of some methods and models, now available in the technical literature and commonly used in the analysis of masonry vaults up to their collapse, by highlighting advantages and drawbacks of each approach. All methods adopted to describe the mechanical behavior of masonry structures, in order to be reliable, must take into account the distinctive aspects o...
متن کاملStructural studies of large nucleoprotein particles, vaults
Vault is the largest nonicosahedral cytosolic nucleoprotein particle ever described. The widespread presence and evolutionary conservation of vaults suggest important biologic roles, although their functions have not been fully elucidated. X-ray structure of vault from rat liver was determined at 3.5 Å resolution. It exhibits an ovoid shape with a size of 40 × 40 × 67 nm(3). The cage structure ...
متن کاملOn-site assessment of masonry vaults: Dynamic tests and numerical analysis
This paper concerns the structural identification of historical masonry buildings with reference to a case study, which is discussed in detail. The building is located in Southern Italy (Lecce). It has an ancient vaulted roof that is complex and commonly found in old masonry structures. This study takes advantage of extensive historical and structural investigations of the building. Preliminary...
