摘要

This paper addresses the challenge of assessing and preserving the structural safety of traditional masonry constructions by testing a simplified numerical method for masonry walls collapse prediction, proposed by the authors in the previous paper in Part. 1 of this volume. The method, developed in a visual scripting environment, incorporates linear programming optimization within a CAD-integrated platform, Grasshopper with Python, enabling the modeling of geometry, load definition and collapse load multiplier calculation. Through a real masonry building located in Bova, the proposed tool is evaluated for its practicality and effectiveness in facilitating fast and intuitive structural assessments, particularly in post-earthquake scenarios or severe damaged urban contexts. The results demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed approach to support rapid decision-making while ensuring the reliability of safety evaluations in masonry structures.
