Abstrakt: | This paper investigates the seismic performance of an unreinforced thin masonry shell structure. A nonlinear pushover analysis is performed using FE modelling to predict the crack propagation and failure mechanism. The sensitivity of the results to material and geometric properties is quantified. |
