The book focuses on all typological aspects of arches and vaults within the heritage of design and construction, while bringing attention to new “green” materials, promoting a circular economy informed by limitations caused by global warming. The multidisciplinary approach involves several different competences in architecture, structural engineering, conservation and restoration, geomatics, BIM, building engineering, the technology and history of construction, graphical methods of assessment, and innovative design that utilizes non-polluting materials. After an overview of the technical...

This volume provides the latest developments in the field of steel and composite for engineering applications, as presented at the International Conference on Steel and Composite for Engineering Structures (ICSCES), held in Ancona, Italy on September 12-13, 2022. It covers interest topics like control and vibration, damage in composite materials, fracture and damage mechanics, construction management, damage tolerance, safety, security, and reliability, big data analytics, topology optimization and artificial intelligence, mechanical and material engineering, structural health monitoring,...

The Thesis presents some numerical models based on homogenization for masonry structures subjected to in- and out-of-plane loads. Joints and bricks are assumed either linear elastic or rigid perfectly-plastic. In the latter case, a simple optimization problem is derived at a cell level to evaluate the macroscopic strength domain of masonry, using both the static and the kinematic theorem of limit analysis. A simple polynomial expansion of the micro-stress field in a finite number of rectangular sub-domains is proposed, suitable to obtain with a very limited computational effort a lower bound...
