Abstract:The combine behavior of masonry arches and walls, which exert an unloading effect on the bearing arches, was analyzed. The finite-element model of the Wallen-Delamot arch was designed for the effect of the load of the overlying masonry. The load action was taken into account both from a combined finite element model with a rigid connection of the arch and overlying masonry, and from the gravitational load transferred to the arch. The dependences of the maximum acting stresses in the arch on the modulus of elas… Show more
