Subject syllabus
General scope of the course:
Material models of mortar, masonry units and masonry. The stress-strain analysis of masonry pillars, walls and vaults. The effect of geometric and material nonlinearity. The state of stress solution by means of two-dimensional and three-dimensional finite elements. Isotropic and orthotropic theory and stiffness matrix. Internal forces, principal stresses and their trajectories. Time-depending models of creep and shrinkage of masonry. Prestressed masonry, types of prestressing. The state of stress analysis in anchorage zones. Restoration, strengthening and reconstruction of masonry structures.
Individual project:
The topic and the form of an individual project will be chosen by the teacher considering the scope of the thesis.
