Seismic Vulnerability Assessment of a Historical Church: Limit Analysis and Nonlinear Finite Element Analysis
Figure 12
Nonlinear FE analysis: (a) principal stresses with the locations of crack openings for the lateral wall N2-(C1,C2,C3,S2). White and black colours correspond to compression and tension areas, respectively, and (b) illustration of the lateral section (see Figure 9(b)) used to compute the collapse load multiplier ( m and m).
