TL;DR: In this paper, a new technique for the limit state analysis of arcuate masonry vaults is described, which involves modelling the principal stresses in a masonry vault as a discrete network of forces.
203 citations
TL;DR: Bertolesi et al. as mentioned in this paper presented a specific project that analyzes the performance of ancient masonry arches and vaults strengthened with composite systems, which involved the experimental evaluation and the development of numerical and analytical simulations.
96 citations
TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider the importance of material properties and structural geometry in the design and analysis of tensile fabric structures, including the conic, hyperbolic paraboloid (hypar) and the barrel vault.
87 citations
TL;DR: In this article, the authors explain some parameters influencing the failure load of domes and barrel vaults and make suggestions for the imperfection shape which has to be assumed in an analysis.
85 citations
TL;DR: In this paper, the Venice trans-lagoon masonry arch bridge is numerically analyzed by means of several 3D FE numerical strategies, and the three dimensional behavior of the structure when subjected to train loads and pile foundation settlement is investigated.
