Finite Element Modelling and Impact Analysis of Masonry Arch

This book offers an easy and basic approach to Finite Element Modelling using softwares used for Numerical Analysis. It is not easy, and sometimes impossible to test existing structures for Hazards such as earthquake and other natural calamities. It is therefore imperative to find an alternative to actual testing. This work provides a comparison between test and modelling alterations to optimize results for the Final model of a Masonary arch.
