Journal Article
Thrust network analysis : a new methodology for three-dimensional equilibrium
Philippe Block,John Ochsendorf +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a new methodology for generating compression-only vaulted surfaces and networks is presented, which is applicable for the analysis of vaulted historical structures, specifically in unreinforced masonry, and the design of new vaulted structures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Real-time limit analysis of vaulted masonry buildings
TL;DR: In this article, a series of analytical tools that are fast and easy to use in real-time, but at the same time rigorous and highly accurate, are presented to explore relationships between building geometry and possible equilibrium conditions in real time.
Journal Article
Particle-spring systems for structural form finding
Axel Kilian,John Ochsendorf +1 more
TL;DR: This paper proposes the use of particle-spring systems for finding structural forms composing only axial forces for creating physical simulations.
Journal ArticleDOI
As Hangs the Flexible Line: Equilibrium of Masonry Arches
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors use graphical analysis to determine possible equilibrium states of masonry structures, which are useful for relating the forces and the geometry of a masonry structure to a single phrase: as hangs the flexible line, so but inverted will stand the rigid arch.
Journal ArticleDOI
Failure of masonry arches under impulse base motion
TL;DR: In this paper, an analytical model is developed to describe the dynamic behavior of the masonry arches and is used to predict the combinations of impulse magnitudes and durations which lead to its collapse.
