Joint Layout Design: Finding the Strongest Connections within Segmental Masonry Arched Forms
Infrastructures, 2022 Segmental arched forms composed of discrete units are among the most common construction systems, ranging from historic masonry vaults to contemporary precast concrete shells.

Three-dimensional seismic stability of inhomogeneous soil slopes using limit analysis method
Rock and Soil Mechanics, 2022 Based on the upper bound limit analysis theorem, the three-dimensional seismic stability of inhomogeneous soil slopes is investigated using the pseudo-dynamic approach, and the explicit expression of the factor of safety is obtained by the gravity ...

Generalized Thrust Network Analysis of Triangular Masonry Cross Vaults Inspired by Musmeci
Applied Sciences, 2023 A triangular parabolic cross vault, that was designed by Musmeci in the 1950s as a reinforced concrete structure but remained unbuilt, is revisited from the original perspective of its reinvention as a masonry structure.

Bilevel limit analysis of self-hardening rod systems under moving load
Computer Assisted Methods in Engineering and Science, 2018 This paper considers results of an analysis of self-hardening systems (SHS), i.e. load-carrying systems with improved strength and rigidity. The indicated structural features can be only found if geometrical nonlinearity is taken into consideration ...

Algorithms of the Method of Statically Admissible Discontinuous Stress Fields (SADSF) — Part III
Engineering Transactions, 2005 SUMMARY OF THE WHOLE PAPER: By now, the SADSF method is practically the only tool of shape design of complex machine elements that provides an effective solution even to the problems of 3D distribution of the material, and at the same time it is still ...

Parametric Investigation on the Effectiveness of FRM-Retrofitting in Masonry Buttressed Arches
Buildings, 2021 Buttressed arches represent some of the most vulnerable elements in historical masonry buildings under seismic actions. Given their structural, architectural and often artistic importance, it is paramount to investigate effective retrofitting measures ...
