By assuming as starting point the analyses performed on the problem of equilibrium of a spherical dome, where the structure is treated either as a thin shell - and then subject to both compressive and tensile stresses - or as a mono-dimensional structure - in that case subject only to meridian compressive stress - purpose of this paper is to analyse the equilibrium of a masonry spherical dome treated as a no-tension bi-dimensional structure. If the dome thickness is assumed as a stability parameter, for values of the thickness large enough it is then possible to identify ranges of statically admissible reactions associated with fields of displacements which are kinematically admissible with equilibrium. By reducing the dome thickness, the collapse condition can be therefore identified as the condition for which the statically admissible ranges shrink to a single point corresponding to the formation of a mechanism: this is the collapse mechanism.
Assumendo come premessa gli studi effettuati sul problema della cupola sia in regime di membrana - reagente dunque sia a compressione che a trazione- sia come sistema mono- dimensionale - soggetto a sforzi di compressione soltanto lungo i meridiani -, scopo di questo lavoro è analizzare il problema dell'equilibrio della cupola sferica in muratura trattata come sistema bi-dimensionale non reagente a trazione. Adottando lo spessore della cupola come parametro di stabilità, per spessore sufficiente è allora possibile individuare i domini degli stati di sollecitazione staticamente ammissibili, che corrispondono a campi di spostamento cinematicamente congruenti con lo stato di equilibrio. Riducendo lo spessore, la condizione di collasso è identificata come la situazione limite in cui i domini degli stati di sollecitazione ammissibile si riducono ad un unico punto corrispondente alla formazione di un meccanismo: è questo il meccanismo di collasso.

Abstract
By assuming as starting point the analyses performed on the problem of equilibrium of a spherical dome, where the structure is treated either as a thin shell - and then subject to both compressive and tensile stresses - or as a mono-dimensional structure - in that case subject only to meridian compressive stress - purpose of this paper is to analyse the equilibrium of a masonry spherical dome treated as a no-tension bi-dimensional structure. If the dome thickness is assumed as a stability parameter, for values of the thickness large enough it is then possible to identify ranges of statically admissible reactions associated with fields of displacements which are kinematically admissible with equilibrium. By reducing the dome thickness, the collapse condition can be therefore identified as the condition for which the statically admissible ranges shrink to a single point corresponding to the formation of a mechanism: this is the collapse mechanism.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
