Marco Francesco Funari et al.

Summary: A digital tool is developed to assess the structural integrity of historic masonry domes quickly. It is based on a no-tension mechanical model and parametric modeling, using the kinematic theorem of limit analysis. A heuristic search method is applied to refine the collapse mechanism's geometry. The tool allows users to perform structural assessments within seconds.

Study of the effect of construction techniques on the seismic capacity of ancient dry-joint masonry towers through DEM

Bora Pulatsu et al.

Summary: This paper investigates the seismic capacity and collapse mechanism of dry-joint masonry towers built with different ancient construction techniques in Turkey. A discontinuum type of analysis based on the discrete element method (DEM) is conducted to accurately represent the masonry towers. The results highlight the importance of workmanship and geometrical properties in influencing the capacity and collapse mechanism of ancient masonry structures.

Probabilistic approach to assess URM walls with openings using discrete rigid block analysis (D-RBA)

Bora Pulatsu et al.

Summary: This study proposes a probabilistic computational modeling framework to predict the structural behavior and capacity of URM walls with openings subjected to lateral loading, considering uncertainties in material properties. The masonry is represented as an assembly of rigid blocks interacting along their boundaries by adopting the point-contact hypothesis. The results highlight the influence of material properties on the force capacity, displacement capacity, and collapse mechanisms of walls with openings.

Computational investigations on the combined shear-torsion-bending behavior of dry-joint masonry using DEM

Bora Pulatsu et al.

Summary: This research investigates the mechanical behavior of dry-joint masonry under combined shear-torsion-bending loading using the discrete element method. Validated by experimental findings, the proposed modeling strategy accurately predicts stress distributions at the joints by defining sufficient contact points on the contact plane.

Nonlinear numerical assessments for the in-plane response of historic masonry walls

Y. T. Guo et al.

Summary: This study investigates the response of historic masonry elements under in-plane cyclic loading using a micro modeling approach. The results show that wet masonry walls have a 16% reduction in stiffness and capacity compared to dry walls. Additionally, the existing guidelines overestimate the ductility of the flexural strut crushing mode.

A solution for the frictional resistance in macro-block limit analysis of non-periodic masonry

Marco Francesco Funari et al.

Summary: This paper proposes a general equation to assess the crack inclination upper threshold in masonry walls with non-periodic textures. The analytical model combines a macro-block limit analysis formulation with the proposed equation. The model is verified through case studies and comparison with advanced DEM simulations and numerical results from previous literature.

Influence of Bond Pattern on the in-plane Behavior of URM Piers

D. Malomo et al.

Summary: This paper utilizes calibrated numerical models developed within the framework of the Distinct Element Method to simulate the lateral response of URM piers under various bond patterns, finding that the bond pattern significantly influences the response of laterally-loaded URM panels. The study suggests the potential inclusion of this aspect in the assessment of existing URM structures.

Distinct element modeling of the dynamic response of a rocking podium tested on a shake table

Daniele Malomo et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the ability of different modeling approaches to simulate the seismic rocking response of a full-scale four-column podium structure through a blind prediction contest. Experiment results showed that the numerical model was generally able to reproduce the large displacements induced by different ground motion ensembles, but tended to overestimate the displacements of the less intense earthquake ensemble. The inclusion of damping helped reduce this overestimation of the response, but also increased solve time and led to an underprediction of the maximum response in the more intense ground motion ensemble.

The cause of damage and failure of the Mud-brick vault of the Khan in New-Gourna

Simon Szabo et al.

Summary: This study focuses on the Khan, a central building in New Gourna, Egypt, designed by Hassan Fathy. Using advanced Finite Element method, the study simulated the gradual deformation and failure of the structure, ultimately finding that the wetting of the mud mortar between the limestone elements in the plinth is the root cause of the failure. This wetting is believed to be caused by the dramatic change in groundwater level due to the construction of the Aswan High Dam and the increase in wastewater caused by a growing population in New Gourna.

In-plane lateral cyclic behaviour of lime-mortar and clay-brick masonry walls in dry and wet conditions

A. Y. Elghazouli et al.

Summary: This paper presents an experimental investigation into the structural and material response of ambient-dry and wet clay-brick/lime-mortar masonry elements. The study found that moisture has a notable effect on the main material properties, leading to a loss of stiffness and strength. It is shown that analytical assessment methods can be reliably adapted for predicting the response of both dry and wet masonry walls, provided that key moisture-dependent material properties are appropriately evaluated.

Modelling the experimental seismic out-of-plane two-way bending response of unreinforced periodic masonry panels using a non-linear discrete homogenized strategy

S. Sharma et al.

Summary: A non-linear discrete homogenized strategy was used to reproduce out-of-plane two-way bending shake table tests on full-scale unreinforced masonry walls. The numerical model successfully described the response of experimentally tested full-scale specimens and was further used to study the behavior of unreinforced masonry walls in configurations not previously tested.

Upgraded formulations for the onset of local mechanisms in multi-storey masonry buildings using limit analysis

Claudia Casapulla et al.

Summary: The paper presents an advanced macro-block model for calculating the onset load factors of local mechanisms in multi-storey unreinforced stone masonry buildings. By considering frictional resistances, the formulations provided an upgraded method for identifying failure mechanisms compared to existing literature, with a more accurate evaluation of in-plane frictional forces and torsion-shear-flexure interactions. The analysis aims at implementing the proposed formulations into the FaMIVE procedure for civil protection purposes after conducting a sensitivity analysis on physical and geometrical parameters.
