These  areas have been also used by public as shelters after earthquakes. So, it is necessary to ensure the  safety of these structures against earthquakes. Unfortunately, the available research results on the behaviour of barrel vaults are rather scarce and there is no universally accepted code of practice  for assessing the earthquake loading for these structures. In this work, the linear and nonlinear behaviour of a family of barrel vaults are investigated under horizontal and vertical  components of earthquakes. A significant volume of interesting results is obtained as an outcome of this study. It is shown that both horizontal and vertical  components of earthquakes may cause some elements of the  vaults to buckle and this may lead to collapse. It is therefore essential that barrel vaults are properly designed for earthquakes. In the current work, some formulae are suggested for assessing the horizontal and vertical effects of earthquakes on barrel vaults. The formulae will ease the task of designing these structures.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783838347356\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eStatically equivalent earthquake loading for the double layer barrel vaults\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783838347356","offer_id":39498989830237,"sku":"9783838347356","price":79.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/4c1f3fb1-3d2e-4b69-a733-6b4b71daf8a5.jpg?v=1768892461","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/equivalent-earthquake-loads-for-some-families-of-barrel-vaults-von-arjang-sadeghi","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
