Simplified micro-modelling of shear-compression stone masonry walls and their interaction with plaster
Katrin Beyer, Bastian Valentin Wilding, Michele Godio, Dionysia Michalogianni
The performance of shear-compression stone masonry walls with regard to their interaction with plaster is investigated by means of numerical simulations. A 3D finite element model based on the simplified micro-modelling technique is developed for the mason ...
2018Experimental and Numerical Assessment of the Seismic Performance of a Half-Scale Stone Masonry Building Aggregate
Katrin Beyer, Francesco Vanin, Michele Godio, Andrea Penna
The region of Basel is considered one of the most seismically vulnerable in Switzerland: in 1356, a very damaging earthquake hit the city, which nowadays is characterized by a significant concentration of population and economic activities. Hence, the Cant ...
2018Tri-linear model for the out-of-plane seismic assessment of unreinforced masonry walls
A new model describing the response of vertically-spanning unreinforced masonry walls subjected to out-of-plane loading is presented. The model approximates the real behaviour of the walls by a tri-linear force-displacement relationship, which is suitable ...
2018Evaluation of force-based and displacement-based out-of-plane seismic assessment methods for unreinforced masonry walls through refined model simulations
The performance of force-based and displacement-based seismic assessment methods for the life-safety limit state check of out-of-plane loaded unreinforced masonry walls is evaluated on the basis of refined numerical simulations. For this purpose, a discret ...
2018Analytical model for the out-of-plane response of vertically spanning unreinforced masonry walls
An analytical model describing the flexural response of vertically spanning out-of-plane loaded unreinforced masonry walls is presented in this paper. The model is based on the second-order Euler-Bernoulli beam theory and captures important characteristics ...
Wiley-Blackwell2017Seismic retrofit of cultural heritage buildings – when less is more
Katrin Beyer, Francesco Vanin, Michele Godio, Andrea Penna
In 1356, Basel was subjected to an earthquake with an estimated magnitude of 6.6; it is the largest known historical earthquake in central northern Europe. During this earthquake and the fire that followed large parts of Basel were destroyed. Such an event ...
