The building stones and slates of Killin : an investigation of stone for the built heritage [PDF]

, 2010
The village of Killin lies in an area of dramatic landscape and mountain scenery. The use of local stone in the buildings gives a direct connection to this landscape and reflects the local geology, comprising mostly metamorphic rocks of Precambrian age

Technical Challenges in the Construction of Gothic Vaults: The Gothic Theory of Structural Design [PDF]

, 2012
The construction of a Gothic vault implied the solution of several technical challenges. The literature on Gothic vault construction is quite large and its growth continues steadily.

Review of strength models for masonry spandrels [PDF]

, 2018
Many older unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings feature timber floors and solid brick masonry. Simple equivalent frame models can help predicting the expected failure mechanism and estimating the strength of a URM wall.

The medieval ‘scientia' of structures: the rules of Rodrigo Gil de Hontañón [PDF]

, 2002
Medieval builders didn't have a scientific structural theory, however gothic cathedrals were not build without a theory. Gothic masters had a ‘scientia', a body of knowledge which permitted the safe design of their buildings.

Homogenization of interlocking masonry walls

, 2008
In a previous publication the authors proposed a continuous model for describing the mechanical behaviour of ‘Running Bond' masonry walls. Here a different masonry structure is considered. This structure is ‘bi-atomic' in the sense that its pattern consists in two kind of blocks with different. The homogenization by differential expansions technique is
