Graphic Statics
The arch is first decomposed in a series of real or fictitious voussoirs
separated by a series of planes (the planes do not need to be parallel)
The thrust line is defined as the geometrical locus of the points of
application of the sectional forces (the resulting forces over each plane
between voussoirs) across the arch
An arch is stable if it is possible
to find a thrust line contained
between its boundaries

and accurate theory on the stability of masonry arches

Limit analysis
The safety factors of a linear elastic analysis and a static limit analysis cannot
be compared with the remaining safety factors.
Physically non-linear analysis and kinematic limit analysis yield the same failure
mechanisms and safety factors?
The consideration of a non-zero, yet low and degrading, tensile strength
increased the safety factors considerably. The post-peak is a key issue.
Different methods of analysis lead to different safety factors and different
completeness of results.
Simplification
Non-linear static analysis
Modal superposition
In the recent years new methods of seismic assessment and design have
been developed, particularly with respect to push-over analysis
The stiffness of the members is also considered (the codes might consider
elastic stiffness or 30 to 50% of the elastic stiffness)
Periods are based on stiffness (Note: The design forces can be reduced
about 30 to 50% if the stiffness is reduced to the half)

Conclusions
Types of analysis: Linear static, linear dynamic and non linear static Paulo B. Loureno | 55
Conclusions
Design and assessment methods based on non-linear analysis should be
used for masonry structures. Linear elastic analysis methods (application of
equivalent static forces and modal superposition) are questionable
Types of analysis:
Linear static, linear
dynamic and non
linear static
