It then goes on to provide a numerical procedure to solve the equilibrium problem of masonry solids.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA large portion of the work is devoted to examples and applications. After solving some simple equilibrium problems, for which the explicit and numerical solutions are compared, three cases dealing with the statics of important monuments are then presented. The numerical modeling yields essential information on the stress field and crack distribution, and enables assessing the effects of strengthening operations. Lastly, a ladle employed in the iron and steel industry is studied, and the behavior of the refractory material lining the metallic vessel characterized.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45091582738583,"sku":"9783540791102","price":9664.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783540791102.webp?v=1769204699","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/masonry-constructions-mechanical-models-and-numerical-applications-9783540791102","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
