Modelling Techniques and Rocking Analysis for Historic Structures: Influence of Vaulted Systems in the Seismic Response of Churches

2015

Abstract

The thesis deals with modelling techniques and rocking analysis suitable to assess the churches seismic vulnerability. Both local and global approaches are considered, discussing the role of masonry vaults in these historic buildings during earthquakes. A new method based on the dissipated energy during the ground motion is presented, together with the subdivision of the church in macro-elements and the evaluation of failure modes.
