Historical masonry domes are an important part of the architectural and engineering
heritage in the World. They have been extensively used to cover the spaces of temples …

The ultimate limit state behavior of masonry domes under axisymmetric gravity loads is
nowadays well known and it has been proved how a generalization of the thrush line …

This paper aims to illustrate and compare different approaches for the limit analysis of
masonry domes of revolution with an oculus at the top. It specifically focuses on the …

General stability and failure behaviors of masonry domes under static loads have been
investigated extensively in literature. However, a few studies have been done on the seismic …

The static limit analysis of axially symmetric masonry domes subject to pseudo-static seismic
forces is addressed. The stress state in the dome is represented by the shell stress …

Numerical modeling of masonry structures is nowadays still an active research field, and this
is partly due to a number of open issues related to preservation and restoration of historical …

Two cases technically relevant are investigated in the field of the prediction of the load
carrying capacity of masonry double curvature structural elements, namely hemispherical …

An original computational framework is presented for the minimum thrust analysis of
axisymmetric masonry domes with arbitrary meridian curve, subject to their self-weight. The …

Nowadays, innovative methods have been used for observing and structural evaluating of
historical structures. In this paper, it is presented the full-scale structural assessments of a …

This paper aims to evaluate the effect of the geometrical uncertainties on the collapse
condition of the circular masonry arch in presence of horizontal actions. Adopting Heyman's …
