What is Kinematic Limit Analysis of Masonry Buildings about?

This document summarizes a study on using a kinematic limit analysis approach to model masonry buildings and estimate their failure loads and mechanisms. The approach uses a micro-mechanical model that homogenizes masonry as a composite material. The model is implemented in a finite element code to analyze entire 3D buildings. An example analysis of a historical masonry building is presented and shows good agreement with results from a standard nonlinear finite element analysis in terms of failure load and
