A Discrete Macro-Element Method (DMEM) for the nonlinear structural assessment of masonry arches
F. Cannizzaro, B. Pantò, S. Caddemi +1
The structural response of masonry arches is strongly dominated by the arch geometry, the stone block dimensions and the interaction with backfill material or surrounding walls. Du…

A fibre Smart Displacement Based (FSDB) beam element for the nonlinear analysis of R/C members
Bartolomeo Pantò, Davide Rapicavoli, Salvatore Caddemi +1
Beam finite elements for non linear plastic analysis of beam-like structures are formulated according to Displacement Based (DB) or Force Based (FB) approaches. DB formulations rel…
