Safety assessment Numerical methods Nonlinear elasticity Masonry buildings
This paper describes the main features of the NOSA-ITACA code, software for the structural analysis of masonry buildings of historical interest resulting from integration of the finite element code NOSA and the open-source platform SALOME. After a short description of the constitutive equation used to model the mechanical behaviour of masonry constructions, some details are given concerning the code's implementation. Then, the result of a static analysis of the "Voltone" in Livorno, performed via the NOSA-ITACA code, is presented with the aim of highlighting the important role of mathematical models and numerical tools in assessing the safety of historical masonry buildings.
