Resistance calculation of a masonry structure against a deformation due to an angular distortion

Abstract

The present paper provides an analysis of the deformation capacity of a masonry structure caused by an angular distortion. We are going to examine the geometric characteristic of the deformation, stress increase associated with this movement, and the resistance front shear and deflection. We have used as a reference the studies from A. Tena y E. Miranda 2001 [1], and the technical norms CTE-DB-SE-F [2] and NBE-FL-90 [3].
