Computational Modelling of Masonry, Brickwork and Blockwork Structures

John W. Bull (Editor) is a lecturer in Structural Engineering in the Engineering Design Centre and in the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne. He has published widely in computational engineering and has published over one hundred and twenty books and papers. He is also an acknowledged expert in the field of soil-structure interaction, concrete pavements, aluminium design and timber design. His current area of research is in Self-Designing Structures and in the use of computational modelling for the determination of the effects of underground voids on above ground structures.

Topics included are: computational strategies for masonry; damage and failure models; earthquake and vibration; bridges and arches; modelling masonry; masonry cracking; non-linear modelling of masonry; masonry columns; masonry joints; practical masonry construction; masonry walls; dynamic behaviour of masonry; buckling of masonry structures; and historic masonry structures.
