Failure Mechanisms of Stone Masonry Dome
This paper investigated the failure mechanisms of the stone masonry dome constructed in the heritage site at Jerash. Jerash is the remains of a Roman ancient city and is located 48km north from Amman, Jordan. West Bath in Jerash had one main dome and two small domes. Domes were constructed from stone masonry. The structural characteristics of the remained small dome were investigated numerically by use of the finite element method. The foundation of the West Bath is under the conditions of a land sliding and was cut beside the dome pier. Therefore, assuming the several uneven settlements of the piers, the structural behavior of the dome was assessed. From the distributions of the cracking and the crushing of the stone, the failure mechanisms of the stone masonry were represented.
