The book consists of four main sections, covering seismic vulnerability analysis of masonry and historical structures, numerical modeling of unreinforced masonry, numerical modeling of FRP-strengthened masonry, and numerical modeling of TRM-strengthened masonry. Each section reflects the theoretical background and current state-of-the art, providing practical guidelines for simulations and the use of input parameters.
- Covers important issues relating to advanced methodologies for the seismic vulnerability assessment of masonry and historical structures
- Focuses on modeling techniques used for the nonlinear analysis of unreinforced masonry and strengthened masonry structures
- Follows a theory to practice approach
Civil and structural engineers, materials scientists, architects and structural designers
