The Hennebique system was the most successful among the patented systems in the pre-code period even though the design rules were not completely clear. Anchorage of the re-inforcement is one of these unknown aspects and how it was calculated, and if it was calculated at all, is still today not clear. For this reason, the efficiency of the anchorages is one of the major issues when dealing with retrofitting a Hennebique structure or when its safety needs to be evaluated. In this paper a series of tests have been performed on the typical Hennebique an-chorages for reinforcing bars (fish-tails) and for the plate stirrups (bended ends) that were used. Different concrete types have been used so that either the collapse mechanisms of the anchor-ages and their ultimate strength may be identified.","PeriodicalId":176260,"journal":{"name":"12th International Conference on Structural Analysis of Historical Constructions","volume":"125 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116524282","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In many places around the world there still exist statues, walls and columns which, despite being located in areas of high seismicity, are still standing and in good conditions after several hundred years. Although Peru is located on a zone of high seismicity, some preColumbian walls are still standing after having withstood many intense earthquakes. The remarkably stable dynamic response of these structures when rocking freely due to horizontal ground motions has been extensively studied [1] [2]. The aim of the project presented in this article is to evaluate the probability of seismic overturning of Inca monuments (XVth century CE) during future strong earthquakes. The Wiracocha temple walls located near Cusco and the Inca trail walls that cross the PUCP campus in Lima were selected for this study. Both earthen walls were modelled as free-standing rigid blocks which could rotate around the corners at their base. A set of synthetic ground acceleration signals were then generated according to the seismicity and ground conditions of both sites. The artificial ground acceleration records were scaled to the uniform hazard spectrum of Peru for return periods of 500, 1000 and 2500 years and different moment magnitudes [3] [4]. The rocking time history response of each wall due to these ground motions was then numerically computed and plotted in order to assess the seismic risk due to overturning of these important earthen monuments. T he main conclusion is that these walls will most probably remain standing for many more centuries.","PeriodicalId":176260,"journal":{"name":"12th International Conference on Structural Analysis of Historical Constructions","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133606870","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Understanding traditional seismic strategies is necessary to conduct appropriate restoration of historic buildings and city centers located in earthquake-prone areas. But, the fast disappearance of vernacular built heritage and of the associated popular knowledge and know-how, along with the spread of inappropriate maintenance works, make it very difficult. To overcome these obstacles, it is suggested to broaden the scope of observations by including both larger geographical areas and elements that do not appear as seismic features at first consideration. This paper illustrates the relevance and the limits of this approach by applying it to the case study of Yazd historic city center. Yazd is located in a moderate seismic area and is famous for its well-preserved historic city center, with a high number of Qajar adobe buildings in various conditions. The authors combined literature review, direct observation of numerous buildings and a deeper study of four Qajar houses to conduct the first part of their research. The data collected mainly relates to the geometrical features, the materials used and the interconnections between elements at different scales. Their analyses led to the elaboration of several assumptions on the seismic behaviour of the studied adobe buildings and vaults and on the distortions some","PeriodicalId":176260,"journal":{"name":"12th International Conference on Structural Analysis of Historical Constructions","volume":"176 ","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133877002","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One of the main fields of shape memory alloy application in civil engineering is oriented on mitigation of earthquake effects on structures. Vibration isolators that incorporate elements made of SMA take advantage of its characteristic phenomenon of nonlinear hysteretic response, also known as superelasticity. In this work, authors presents an approach to phenomenological modelling of SMA by using rheological schemes. One of the advantages of this approach is a possibility of formulation of constitutive relationships as a set of explicit differential equations. As an illustration of validity of the formulation, authors present the response of single degree of freedom oscillator that incorporates SMA elements modelled by different existing SMA models. The response obtained based on the model that uses rheological schemes is compared with Lagoudas thermodynamic constitutive SMA model and simplified material model. All of the compered models are found to match well and show important reduction in displacement transmissibility.","PeriodicalId":176260,"journal":{"name":"12th International Conference on Structural Analysis of Historical Constructions","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115080847","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Earthen architecture is one of the most relevant building technologies among heritage structures. However, mechanical properties are commonly obtained from destructive tests. To contribute at changing this trend, two non-destructive mechanical techniques (ultrasound and modal analysis) are studied to determine their ability at characterizing earthen materials and their possible correlation. To achieve these purposes, twenty cubic-shaped earthen specimens were produced for testing the capability of ultrasound transmission method to control moisture content and its evolution during drying process at different environments. Additionally, a real-scale rammed earth wall was built to assess the feasibility of using ultrasound technique to determine elastic dynamic Young modulus. This analysis was validated by indirect comparison with experimental modal analysis test results. The most important findings are that the relationship between moisture content and ultrasound transmission speed is linear. This information is useful to control the drying process of earthen materials and to control the moisture content distribution on larger in-service structures. Finally, numerical simulation using ultrasound transmission data as input information allow to predict the vibrational response of the tested wall with an error around 3%.","PeriodicalId":176260,"journal":{"name":"12th International Conference on Structural Analysis of Historical Constructions","volume":"82 8","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114118462","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the North-East part of The Netherlands, induced seismicity due to gas extraction is affecting a local building stock consisting mainly of unreinforced masonry (URM) houses not designed for earthquake resistance. Experimental and numerical studies conducted at EUCENTRE, Pavia (Italy), have demonstrated that buildings with URM cavity-walls structural systems are among the most vulnerable existing Dutch construction typologies. A light and reversible retrofit system made of timber frames and oriented-strands boards was then designed and tested to increase the in-plane and out-of-plane capacities of masonry piers and to enhance their connections with the floor diaphragms. The development of modelling approaches able to simulate the influence of the retrofit system is of fundamental importance for future applications to real-case existing buildings and for vulnerability studies on different building stocks. Based on two quasi-static in-plane shear-compression tests on two full-scale masonry piers, one in bare and one in retrofitted configuration, a specific macroelement was calibrated to simulate the bare pier lateral response and the effects of the retrofit on the in-plane flexural and shear capacities. This paper discusses the adopted modelling strategies and the comparison between numerical and experimental results.","PeriodicalId":176260,"journal":{"name":"12th International Conference on Structural Analysis of Historical Constructions","volume":"344 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116536374","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The current sparse use of this construction type can be attributed, among other reasons, to a lack of simple design methods, tools and criteria. Extended Limit Analysis of Reinforced Masonry (ELARM) is a new method for the structural analysis and design of reinforced concrete, reinforced masonry or reinforced composite (masonry and concrete) arched structures. It is implemented computationally to create a flexible design and analysis tool, able to provide immediate graphical and intuitive results. The method is based on limit analysis but takes into account the material’s limited compressive strength and the vault’s cross-sectional bending capacity provided by the reinforcement as an equivalent increase of the thickness. The plastic theorems are then applied considering the new virtual boundaries of the vault’s intrados and extrados. ELARM is validated through the comparison of its predictions with the results of load tests on two full-scale composite barrel vaults. The vaults feature a structural system composed of a two-layered tile vault as an integrated formwork for a reinforced concrete layer. They were tested under vertical loading up to failure. Both the vertical and horizontal displacements of the vaults were monitored during the tests. The characterisation of the materials composing the vaults was also carried out to introduce the measured material properties and strengths in the equilibrium equations for the computation of the new virtual thickness. This paper presents the new structural analysis and design method, its experimental validation and some practical design examples to show the potential of the tool. It offers an intuitive process of design in which shape can be adapted and optimised, also having the material properties and thickness, loads and reinforcement quantity and placement as variable parameters. The presented examples include reinforcement optimisation and form-finding procedures and the analysis of a non-compression-dominated structure.","PeriodicalId":176260,"journal":{"name":"12th International Conference on Structural Analysis of Historical Constructions","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115924665","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
