Unilateral contact analysis and failure prediction in stone bridgesUnilateral contact analysis and failure prediction in stone bridges Peer-Reviewed Journal Publication Δημοσίευση σε Περιοδικό με Κριτές 2015-10-122003enUnilateral contact analysis with friction can be performed by general purpose finite element programs, provided that the user has basic theoretical background knowledge. These mechanisms are of great importance for the safety evaluation and structural rehabilitation of monuments. This is demonstrated by the investigation of some damage scenarios for a stone bridge.http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Advances in architectures series815307-315 Stavroulakis Georgios Σταυρουλακης Γεωργιος M.
