Abstract:

This dissertation examines the collapse of masonry structures in response to large support displacements and horizontal ground accelerations. There are two main classes of masonry structure: arches that thrust, and supporting elements, such as walls and buttresses, which resist the thrust. This dissertation analyses the safety of arches and buttresses and identifies the resulting collapse mechanisms due to support displacements or horizontal accelerations. In particular, this research investigates the stability of a masonry arch supported on buttresses and the conditions necessary for collapse

Abstract:

The behaviour of concrete masonry under in-plane compression combined with out-of-plane bending was examined both experimentally and analytically. Ungrouted and grouted masonry, both fully bedded or face-shell bedded, were included in the study. It was found that the masonry under the above stated loading conditions may suffer loss of capacity either due to splitting or shear type of material failure, or by instability. Different loading conditions yield different failure mechanisms, which in turn correspond to different apparent strengths. Theoretical developments are presented leading to es

In the pseudo-static experiments, scaled masonry walls with different geometric forms, bond types and corner connections were tested. The static-phase in

Masonry spires are a typical part of church architecture. Since it is rare that masonry is used as a load-bearing material in the western world today, it is important to maintain and increase the knowledge of modelling masonry structures both from a maintenance point of view and to build new masonry structures. The purpose of this master thesis is to look at and evaluate some different methods to model masonry spires exposed to common loads such as gravity, settlement and wind.

Masonry is an ancient building material that has been used throughout the history, and it is still used nowadays. Masonry constitutes the main building technique adopted in historical constructions, and a deep understanding of its behavior is of primary importance for the preservation of our cultural heritage. Despite its extensive usage, masonry has always been used following a trial and error approach and rules-of-thumb, due to a poor understanding of the complex mechanical behavior of such a composite material.

Most experimental work and assessment methods have so far been carried out under ultimate load.

The development of a computational model for low bond strength brick masonry is described.

One feature of the research was the method used to identify the material parameters for the constitutive model.
