DOI: 10.1016/j.engfailanal.2017.11.013
Abstract: Abstract As well known, masonry churches fail upon formation of partial failure mechanisms, usually activating at very low levels of horizontal accelerations, which are responsible for the collapse of specific macro-blocks, typically the facade, the… read more here.
