Force-Based Seismic Evaluation of Retrofitting Interventions of Historic Masonry Castles by 3D Rigid Block Limit Analysis

Force-Based Seismic Evaluation of Retrofitting Interventions of Historic Masonry Castles by 3D Rigid Block Limit Analysis

This paper deals with the force-based assessment of collapse mechanisms and strengthening interventions of the historic masonry castle “Bussi sul Tirino” (Abruzzi, Italy) using rigid block limit analysis (RBLA). The structure, which is a fortified palace dating back to the 11th century, has experien...
