An equivalent beam method to model masonry buildings in 3D finite element analysis
The construction of shallow tunnels in urban environments may cause surface ground movements that are large enough to inflict structural damage on nearby buildings. A 3D finite element procedure to model these ground movements is proposed in which the structural behaviour of the building is represen...
