The influence of deflections on the static and dynamic behaviour of masonry columns
M. Girardi, C. Padovani, D. Pellegrini
This paper studies the influence of bending deflections on the structural behaviour of masonry columns. Some explicit solutions are presented, and the combined effects of the const…
The natural frequencies of masonry beams
Maria Girardi
The present paper aims at analytically evaluating the natural frequencies of cracked slender masonry elements. The problem is dealt with in the framework of linear perturbation, an…
A finite element model updating method based on global optimization
Maria Girardi, Cristina Padovani, Daniele Pellegrini +1
Finite element model updating of a structure made of linear elastic materials is based on the solution of a minimization problem. The goal is to find some unknown parameters of the…
A model updating procedure to enhance structural analysis in the FE code NOSA-ITACA
M. Girardi, C. Padovani, D. Pellegrini +1
This paper describes the model updating procedure implemented in NOSA-ITACA, a finite-element code for the structural analysis of masonry constructions of historical interest. The…
Modal Analysis of Masonry Structures
Maria Girardi, Cristina Padovani, Daniele Pellegrini
This paper presents a new numerical procedure for evaluating the vibration frequencies and mode shapes of masonry buildings in the presence of cracks. The algorithm has been implem…
