Structural behaviour of masonry buildings subjected to landslide: load path method approach

Following Roca et al. (2010), who sustain si mple methods based on fundamental principles (e.g. limit theorems of plasticity) as still crucial to cat ch on the primary aspects of the structural response, this article discu sses the results of a study on the use of the Load Pat h Method to interpret the behaviour of masonry buildings subjected to foundation settlements due to landslide.
