In this scenario, refined analysis methodologies are confined to the research environment, while professional applications need simpler methodologies, which allow for a better understanding of the analysis results: the equivalent frame model is one of these methodologies. However, the method is affected by some issues, which, if not adequately addressed, may lead to unrealistic stress distributions. In this work, we propose a procedure that increases the reliability of the analysis results. It consists in the modification of the model depending on the nature of the acting loads in relation to the different construction phases of the structure. In addition, an extension of the method for the analysis of buildings constructed in different periods is introduced. Finally, the results of the analysis performed for a case study are presented in order to validate the proposed methods. date: 2016-06-10 date_type: published publisher: ECCOMAS Proceedia official_url: https://doi.org/10.7712/100016.2173.5718 oa_status: green full_text_type: pub language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1652010 doi: 10.7712/100016.2173.5718 isbn_13: 9786188284401 lyricists_name: Sevieri, Giacomo lyricists_id: GSEVI66 actors_name: Sevieri, Giacomo actors_id: GSEVI66 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public publication: ECCOMAS Congress 2016 - Proceedings of the 7th European Congress on Computational Methods in Applied Sciences and Engineering place_of_pub: Crete Island, Greece pagerange: 5190-5206 event_title: ECCOMAS Congress 2016 VII European Congress on Computational Methods in Applied Sciences and Engineering event_location: Crete Island, Greece event_dates: 5-10th June 2016 book_title: ECCOMAS Congress 2016 VII European Congress on Computational Methods in Applied Sciences and Engineering citation: Pugi, F; Francioso, A; Sevieri, G; (2016) Construction phases analysis of unreinforced masonry buildings through equivalent frame model.
