Abstract
When dealing with complex masonry structures, exploration of the potential flow of forces can sometimes be more useful than rigorous analysis. Exploration requires division of the structure into elements, computation of volumes and weights, summation of forces and then the tracing and visualisation of force flow. This briefing note describes how vector algebra and spreadsheets can be used to develop simple interactive spreadsheet models.
