Modeling Strategies for the Computational Analysis of Unreinforced Masonry Structures: Review and Classification (2019, methodology): “Firstly, these assumptions allowed simple graphic statics solutions for the stability analysis of masonry vaults [42], and kinematic analysis of common seismic failure modes of masonry buildings [43].”
A thrust network approach to the equilibrium problem of unreinforced masonry vaults via polyhedral stress functions (2010, methodology): “, 2007; Kilian, 2007), famous for their use in the architecture by Antoni Gaudí; and the equilibrium approach to the limit analysis of no-tension structures (Heyman, 1966, 1995; Del Piero, 1998; Huerta, 2001).”
Limit analysis of masonry vaults by means of curved shell finite elements and homogenization (2008, background): “Nowadays it can be affirmed (Huerta, 2001) that ‘‘the modern theory of limit analysis of masonry structures, which has been developed mainly by Heyman (1969), is the tool to understand and analyze masonry structures”.”
