In the literature, rigid no-tension models were generally observed to not perfectly predict the response of dry-joint masonry arches to large support displacements and, in particular, to overestimate the ultimate displacement capacity obtained in experimental tests. This work investigated the reasons for these discrepancies by analysing the...

The paper presents some observations on the role of collaboration between different disciplines in the project of knowledge and conservation of historic buildings. In particular, it analyzes the collaboration between architectural archaeologists and structural engineers in the case study of the castle of Calice al Cornoviglio (SP). The castle,...

A number of comparative LCA studies on structural systems mainly focus on the use of alternative building materials, without taking into account possible damage resulting from extreme events throughout their life cycle. The present study not only analyzes environmental impacts related to the choice of the structural system and its implications...

A prolonged seismic sequence struck the regions of Central Italy between August 2016 and January 2017, causing several fatalities and widespread damage to the built environment. The main objective of this work was to study the structural and seismic behavior of "Pietro Capuzi" school, located in Visso, in the Marche region, which was severely...

Uno dei confronti disciplinari più attuali e, per alcuni versi, più problematici è quello tra restauro e tecnica delle costruzioni. Tiziano Mannoni ebbe la lungimiranza di comprendere già negli Anni Ottanta che l'analisi archeologica degli edifici non potesse prescindere dalla conoscenza del loro comportamento strutturale e che quest'ultimo...

Reinforced concrete interventions have been a critical issue for restorations in the field of conservation since the early twentieth century. Until the twenty-first century, cement-containing interventions could be seen in almost all restorations in Turkey. There are even examples of monumental buildings whose structural systems have been...

A heterogeneous full 3D non-linear FE approach is validated against experimental results obtained on an in- scale masonry cross vault assembled with dry joints, and subjected to various loading conditions consisting on imposed displacement combinations to the abutments. The FE model relies into a discretization of the blocks by means of few...

In this study, the possibility of applying the Life Cycle Thinking approach to structural design, considering all aspects and phases of the structure's life, is investigated. The idea is to develop a procedure for the analysis of the economic and environmental impacts of structures in their life cycle, including not only ordinary costs along...

Masonry vaults are common elements in heritage buildings and, due to their age, may accumulate damages and deformations due to various actions like overloads, support movements, earthquakes, etc. The use of terrestrial laser scanners and structure from motion photogrammetry survey to study these deformations can offer valuable information for...

Masonry vaults are common structural elements in heritage buildings that, given their long lifespan, are susceptible to the accumulation of damages and deformations from diverse actions such as overloads, support movements, seismic action, etc. The use of 3D point clouds from terrestrial laser scanners and structure from motion photogrammetry...
