Analysis of Equivalent Diaphragm Vault Structures in Masonry Construction under Horizontal Forces
In seismic areas, masonry construction is prone to brittle failures due to the mechanical behavior of the constituent materials and to the low capacity of force redistributions. The redistribution capacity is mainly due to the presence of horizontal connections upon the walls and to the stiffness of...
