The Effect Of Steel Reinforcing In The Static Analysis Of Historical Vaulted Buildings Under Horizontal Actions

Description
Summary:Different systems of reinforcements can be arranged in order to improve the seismic strength of the historical masonry buildings. The most common one consists in the insertion into the original structure of suitable horizontal devices as steel ties passing through the masonry walls at the floor levels with anchor plates at the heads. The aim of this paper is to perform a complete analysis of this kind of building when the floors are made up by masonry crossed vaults. The study, in line with previous paper, will be performed in the framework of the well known limit analysis theory by using the unilateral no tension model of the masonry material. 1 Introduction The structural behaviour of the historical masonry buildings, mainly for their repair a
