A simplified analytical method for earthquake-induced bending failure of hollow-core polygonal masonry pagodas
Hollow-core polygonal masonry pagodas are vulnerable to seismic bending failure along inter-story or near-inter-story sections, yet simplified methods for identifying governing fracture interfaces and evaluating cumulative cracking are limited. This study develops a simplified variable-cross-section cantilever model...
