Abstract

A kinematic limit analysis approach for three-dimensional curved rigid blocks is presented. To maintain the exact geometry of curved structures in a three-dimensional context, NURBS solids are used. Under the hypotheses of rigid elements and frictional behavior at interfaces, a kinematic limit analysis problem is defined and solved through a linear programming formulation. The Gothic arches in the Carmo convent, Lisbon (Portugal), are studied to prove the efficiency of the method.
