Seismic safety analysis of historical masonry structures using a damage constitutive model
Abstract eng: Structural analysis of two important Gothic constructions in Spain (Santa Maria del Mar Church in Barcelona and Mallorca Cathedral at Palma) has been performed. A 3D Finite Element model of a typical bay for each building has been adopted in conjunction with a tension-compression distributed damage model. Nonlinear analysis both for vertical gravity load and lateral seismic load has been carried out, taking advantage of recent precise data about the morphology of the structures. The capacity curve obtained for seismic load has been considered for the use of the Capacity Spectrum Method (CSM) in order to estimate the damage level under the expected seismic ground motion. The results show acceptable resistance capacities with reduced damage levels in both buildings for the design earthquake.
