Summary on Grant Application Form
The primary aim of the proposed work is to develop computational procedures based on a combined finite/discrete methodology to assess alternative repair strategies for damaged masonry structures. In the first stage the simulation of the damagin of real scale structures will be undertaken for representative loading conditions. Alternative repair strategies will be assessed in the second stage, with particular emphasis being placed on the use of anchor stitching systems provided by Cintec. It is also intended that reinforced components be included which will permit the modelling of composite structures and will also be of relevance to the repair of masonry based on an Industry standard simulation capability to aid decision making in quantifying the remnant structural integrity of masonry structures and to examine optional remedial actions.
