Reflecting the authors' experience, and describing the results of restoration projects they have worked on, this text deals with applications of advanced computational mechanics techniques in structural analysis, strength rehabilitation and aseismic design of monuments, historical buildings and related structures.
Chapter 1: Architectural form and structural system Our cultural evolution is our heritage; Volcanic eruptions and earthquakes interrupted the human cultural evolution; Two thinspace examples with heritage structures that survived over many centuries; Destructive, chaotic phenomena are part of our evolution; A final note Chapter 2: Static and dynamic analysis Isostatic and hyperstatic structures. The need for elasticity; Linear elastic analysis. Differential equations; Weak form and energy approach; Numerical approximation and finite elements; Representative examples; Dynamic and modal analysis Chapter 3: Computational techniques Differentiation, integration and computational mechanics; Discretization methods and numerical treatment; Nonlinear models (plasticity, cracking, damage, contact elements, etc); Time-stepping techniques and simplified combination of modal response: Response spectrum analysis; The static and dynamic simulation of masonry structures; Elements of structural optimization Chapter 4: Case studies of selected heritage structures Materials modeling and modal analysis of the Venetian lighthouse in Chania; Buildings of a special shape; A bridge built by the British during the early part of the 19th century on the Ionian Island of Kythera; A bridge built in 1866 in Plaka, Greece; The building of Merarchia, in Chania; Discussion Chapter 5: Restoration modeling and analysis Intervention methods for masonry structures; Restoration modeling and design; Prestress restoration; The mantle of shotcrete (gunite); Wooden and steel substructures; Nonlinear analysis of composite masonry walls; Case studies; Conclusions
