Abstract

The authors have been recently involved with the restoration of the various historical masonary structures as well as static and dynamic stability assessment of some natural monumental rock structures. Furthermore, dynamic limiting equilibrium methods (D-LEM) as well as numerical methods used for stability assessment of these structures. The outcomes of these studies are presented and their implications on the stability of historical masonary structures in Ryukyu Archipelago under dynamic loads such as those induced by earthquakes are discussed.
