Principles and Analysis of Historical Masonry Structures

The Strength of the Past

Giovanni Castellazzi and Alberto Taliercio · Cambridge Scholars Publishing, 2025 · 498 pages

How masonry structures stand, why they endure and when they fail. The book develops the mechanics of arches, vaults, domes and walls — thrust line theory, the no-tension model, seismic action and long-term degradation — through structural principles, case studies and visual tools, connecting historic construction techniques with the analytical approaches used today to assess safety and guide conservation.

Written for engineers, architects, conservation professionals and students.
