Mechanical and environmental modeling for a multidisciplinary and holistic evaluation of masonry structures – MENHIR
Masonry structures are a central preoccupation for infrastructures manager, due to their common presence, their age, with a very high patrimonial and environmental value.
Unfortunately they didn’t have benefited of the same efforts in the development of structural analysis tools and standards as concrete or steel structures. The main issue for managers is to quantify the residual bearing capacity of such structure when they are identified as damaged during monitoring campaigns or when they have to be reassessed due to changes in operating conditions.
The objective of the Menhir project is to develop a multidisciplinary methodology, dedicated to managers, based on reliable tools for assessing the mechanical and environmental performance of their structures, to ensure preservation and sustainable management.
