1 Some results on the strength evaluation of vaulted masonry structures D. Abruzzese, M. Como, G. Lanni Department of Civil Engineering, University of Rome 'Tor Vergata \ Italy Abstract Within the framework of the studies on masonry structures that use the notension model for the masonry material, the paper aims to analyze the strength of some vaulted masonry structures, very frequent in the context of historical buildings. The analysis has been first focused to the case of the vertical loads, examining both the possibility of symmetric and non symmetric collapse mechanism. The effect of increasing horizontal forces has been then analyzed. Some useful results have been obtained particularly in the case of the circular and the pointed arch with abutment piers. 1 Introduction There is an increasing need to understand the structural behaviour of historical masonry structures, mainly for their repair and maintenance. The assumption of a consistent model of the "masonry material" behaviour is a fundamental starting point because very seldom the traditional linear elastic analysis can be useful. The response of the masonry to the applied stresses has an unilateral nature: masonry, in fact, can sustain also high compressive stresses but can resist only feeble tensions. In this context the pioneering studies of Heyman [1,2,3] on the masonry arches and vaults still today stimulate further research and analysis. According to the Heyman approach four constitutive assumptions are
2 432 Architectural Studies, Materials & Analysis made: - sliding failure cannot occur; - masonry has not tensile strength; - masonry has infinite compressive strength; - masonry is rigid under compressive stresses. These assumptions reveal particularly useful to analyze the strength of masonry structures when the failure of the structure is more due to cracks openings than to material crushing. With the above assumptions many problems of the behaviour of masonry arches and cylindrical vaults have been studied by Como et al. [4,5,6] in the framework of the Limit Analysis. In all the cases the failure mechanisms come out from the occurrence in the arches and piers of no dissipating hinges. In this context a classical problem is the evaluation of the thrust of the vaults loaded by their weight, in order to design abutments able to stand firm against overturning, or to analyze the actual behaviour of old masonry monuments. The determination of the failure mechanism of these vaulted structures can be considered as another aspect of the same problem. For a symmetric vaulted structure, with abutments piers and symmetrically loaded, the occurrence of a symmetric failure mechanism is usual taken for granted. This symmetric failure mechanism is characterized by the presence of two hinges symmetrically placed at the intrados of the vaulted arch, of a key hinge at the extrados of the vault and by the outside overturning of the piers (fig.l). Also a nonsymmetric mechanism could, on the other hand, occur at the failure. This nonsymmetric mechanism involves, on the contrary, overturning of a single pier and the presence of three hinges in the arch, as drawn in fig.2. fig.l fig.2 A second problem of relevant interest in seismic areas is the evaluation of the strength of the vaulted structures with abutments piers, loaded by their weights and by horizontal actions proportional to the same weights. In this case a non symmetric global mechanism as drawn infig.2generally occurs at
3 Architectural Studies, Materials & Analysis 433 the failure. Only if the piers are unusually squat a local failure of the only arch can occur. In the next the cases of the circular and the pointed arch will be particularly examined. Some simplified formulas will be presented in order to evaluate the collapse multiplier of the vertical loads acting on the arch and that one of the horizontal actions applied on the whole structure. Moreover the effect of a reinforcing chain will be also evaluated. 2 The circular masonry arch with abutment piers loaded by vertical forces. The scheme of the considered structure is drawn infig.3.let R be the inner radius of the arch and S its thickness; let also B and H be respectively the lower width and the height of the abutment piers. The loads are only vertical and are represented by the weights of the arch Q», distributed along the span, and the weight Qp of the piers, concentrated in the centers of gravity Gp. We will assume, on the other hand, that the forces acting on the vault, but not those acting on the piers, are increasing with the load multiplier X. itttttttttttv B \ 0 A A (i) f: *AB/\I/ "A a 8H "V. pb X fig.3 fig Symmetric collapse A single parameter % will define the symmetric mechanism, i.e. the position of the hinge localized at the intrados of the arch (fig.4). Let also AB and BC be the two portions of the half arch divided by this hinge, having weights respectively QAB and QBC. The two centers of gravity GAB and GBC of the two portions AB and BC are indicated in fig.4. They have distances from the centers of the respective chords given by:

A numerical analysis has shown that the hinges B and C form at a distance from the left springing equal respectively to 0.5 L and 0.9 L. With these assumptions we can produce easily the following simplified expression of the nonsymmetric collapse multiplier Ao^ where: and b + 02 K. = (0 46C - 0.6) - 0.2(b ) (18) h b where h, b, s are defined by the (8). 2.3 Conclusion A numerical analysis has been performed proving that, even if the geometric parameters h, b, s change, it always occurs: K,>Kn (20) Thus it can be stated that the collapse mechanism for the circular arch with piers is symmetric as well the weight on the arch arises, and the collapse multiplier A,o is given by the (7). Empirical rules did exist for the design of the abutments: the seventeenth century architects knew the "Blondels" rule, for instance. (Heyman,[3J). This rule, on the other hand, did not involve neither the thickness of the arch or the
7 Architectural Studies, Materials & Analysis 437 height of the piers, both independently defined by some fixed ratios with the span of the arch. On the contrary, the simple formula obtained (7) puts clearly in evidence the influence of the various geometrical factors on the strength of the arch. 3 The circular masonry arch with abutment pier loaded by horizontal actions The scheme of the considered structure is drawn infig.5. The vertical loads are represented by the weight of the arch Qa, distributed along the span, and the weight Qp of the piers, concentrated in the gravity centers Gp. The horizontal actions are proportional to the vertical ones and increase with the multiplier X. fig.5 fig.6 In this case two parameters, the position angles (pa and cpe of the two hinges occurring inside the arch, define the mechanism. Let so AB, BC and CD the three portions in which the arch is divided by the internal hinges, having weights respectively QAB, QBC, QCD- The three centers of gravity GAB, GBC and GCD of the three arcs AB,BC and CD are indicated infig.6.they have distances from the centers of the respective chords given by (1), coordinates x given by (10),(11),(12) and coordinates y given by: 71 -Z-VB sm- (21) TIBC sin (22)

If the part I rotates around the center (1) of an unitary angle, the part II rotates around (2) of a and the part III rotates around the center (3) of p. These angles are respectively given by (15). With all these elements we can write now the virtual work equation and obtain the expression of the kinematics multiplier K^ for the global mechanism: % = - "<ABl^AB* x BC BCx X CD CD* X pk_l^ (24) ~ ^-(l)j+qbc[g^-(2)ja + Q^[G^-(3)Jp + Q/"" The research of the minimum of the kinematics multiplier X*/ varying both the parameters cps and cpc yields the global collapse multiplier?ioh of the horizontal actions. A numerical analysis has shown that the hinges B and C form at a distance from the left springing equal respectively to 0.5 L and 0.9 L. With these assumptions we can produce easily the following simplified expression of the global collapse multiplier XOH: pb Q.K, 8h Q Sh where: *"*"{$ K, = [ C]-0.20(b ) (26) C 1.8 K^ = ^-[0.58-( s)c] (h ) (27) \^ l.o and C is given by (19). It is useful to observe that the term pb/8h which appears in the (25) represents the strength of the isolated pier respect to the overturning.
9 Architectural Studies, Materials & Analysis The pointed arch with abutment piers The results obtained in 2. and 3. have been extended to the case of the pointed arch, particularly frequent in the gothic architecture. A pointed arch is formed by two portions of circular arch, each having the inner radius R equal to the span L. The two portions meet exactly at the top of the pointed arch. The collapse mechanism under increasing vertical loads on the only arch is symmetric (fig.l) and the hinges localized at the intrados of the arch form at a distance from the springings equal to 0.05 L The collapse multiplier is given by a formula quite similar to the (7) if the expression (9) is substituted by the following one: L. n b (h + l.l s+0.87)^-j-^yj-0.15(b ) (28) The collapse mechanism under horizontal actions increasing proportionally to the weights is non symmetric(fig.2) and the hinges in the arch form at a distance from the left springing equal respectively to 0.4 L and 0.9 L The collapse multiplier is given by a formula quite similar to the (25) if the expressions (26), (27) and (19) are substituted by the following ones b + Olf 004C 1 h _ 1 + s I h + _ s b The effect of the reinforcing chain Very often the vaulted structures with abutments piers are reinforced with an iron chain which connects the springings. The effect of this additional elements on the collapse under horizontal or vertical actions is evaluable very easily. If we consider both a symmetric and a non symmetric collapse mechanism (fig.l and fig.2) and denote with 8 the rotation of the pier, the resistant work due to the uplifting of a pier is equal to QppB8, where p is the
10 440 Architectural Studies, Materials & Analysis geometric eccentricity of the pier weight respect to the external foot. If we add a reinforcing chain, this generally yields at the failure of the structure and the additional resistant work is equal to TO H8 if To is the yielding tension. Then the collapse multiplier formulas (7) and (25) for the circular arch and the corresponding ones for the pointed arch are completely usable substituting the real eccentricity p with a fictitious eccentricity p* equal to: (32) References 1.
