The purpose of this paper is to analyse the collapse of masonry arches in the presence of finite friction within the framework of the rigid-plasticity theory by adopting an upper bound approach. As usual in dynamics, the decomposition in normal and tangential subproblems is effective to identify the collapse condition by imposing the normality rule for the first one and the principle of maximum dissipation for the second one.

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to analyse the collapse of masonry arches in the presence of finite friction within the framework of the rigid-plasticity theory by adopting an upper bound approach. As usual in dynamics, the decomposition in normal and tangential subproblems is effective to identify the collapse condition by imposing the normality rule for the first one and the principle of maximum dissipation for the second one.
