The paper deals with the mechanical behaviour of ancient masonry constructions subjected to static vertical loads. The cases considered concern structures designed to cover a given span. Masonry is modelled as a no-tension orthotropic. Three cases are analysed. The purpose of the study is to recognise for each case the bearing structure. As a consequence of the modelling the masonry is divided into macro-elements separated by possible fracture lines which define the starting of probable regions where damage can be localised.

Abstract
The paper deals with the mechanical behaviour of ancient masonry constructions subjected to static vertical loads. The cases considered concern structures designed to cover a given span. Masonry is modelled as a no-tension orthotropic. Three cases are analysed. The purpose of the study is to recognise for each case the bearing structure. As a consequence of the modelling the masonry is divided into macro-elements separated by possible fracture lines which define the starting of probable regions where damage can be localised.File in questo prodotto:
