The paper presents a new method aimed at the automated modelling of ribbed masonry vaults, based on parametric modelling integrated with measurements and in-situ …
Iron ties contribute to the stability of structural systems having vaults and arches. The axial force in the iron ties is not easily to be measured but this knowledge is important for …
Frequently observed damage in historic masonry vaults has always given rise to concerns on their stability. The effect of present damage on masonry vaults structural response should …
The present study takes advantage of a parametric model, which allows one to create automatically complex structural models of ribbed masonry vaults. Two numerical modelling …
This paper focuses on the generation of complex geometrical models with solid elements in historical masonry buildings, suitable for structural simulations. The complexity of the system …
