Abstract

Under the traditional rigid-no tension assumptions of dry-stack masonry and the assumption of no out of plane motion, the displacements of the arch can be explicitly defined by the combined set of eight defined motions. The ability to identify and measure these displacements thus provide the opportunity to describe the motion of the system. This work establishes a simplified measurement technique for these common rigid-body displacements between two blocks of a masonry arch in contact.
