Description
Numerical Modeling of Masonry and Historical Structures: From Theory to Application provides detailed information on the theoretical background and practical guidelines for numerical modeling of unreinforced and reinforced (strengthened) masonry and historical structures. The book consists of four main sections, covering seismic vulnerability analysis of masonry and historical structures, numerical modeling of unreinforced masonry, numerical modeling of FRP-strengthened masonry, and numerical modeling of TRM-strengthened masonry. Each section reflects the theoretical background and current state-of-the art, providing practical guidelines for simulations and the use of input parameters.
- Covers important issues relating to advanced methodologies for the seismic vulnerability assessment of masonry and historical structures
- Focuses on modeling techniques used for the nonlinear analysis of unreinforced masonry and strengthened masonry structures
- Follows a theory to practice approach
