This study is motivated from the collapse of an old masonry building in the Southern Italy. FEM analyses are carried out focusing on the influence of the contrasting wall on the stability of the vault. The structure is subjected to a damage scenario on the contrasting wall due to a demolition project, and the consequence of the damage is evaluated using the explicit dynamic simulation made by Ls-Dyna®. A micro modeling technique (discrete FEM model) is adopted to model the masonry: the mortar is modeled by contact surfaces between the masonry units, which are explicitly modeled by block of meshes. The analysis outcomes are thoroughly commented.

Abstract

This study is motivated from the collapse of an old masonry building in the Southern Italy. FEM analyses are carried out focusing on the influence of the contrasting wall on the stability of the vault. The structure is subjected to a damage scenario on the contrasting wall due to a demolition project, and the consequence of the damage is evaluated using the explicit dynamic simulation made by Ls-Dyna®. A micro modeling technique (discrete FEM model) is adopted to model the masonry: the mortar is modeled by contact surfaces between the masonry units, which are explicitly modeled by block of meshes. The analysis outcomes are thoroughly commented.
