Efficient meta-heuristic mesh adaptation strategies for NURBS upper–bound limit analysis of curved three-dimensional masonry structures

•Adaptive NURBS-based limit analysis allows fast assessment of general masonry structures.•Several meta-heuristic mesh adaptation schemes are proposed for the analysis of masonry vaults.•A new, specifically tailored, Prey Predator Algorithm (PPA) is presented.•The high efficiency of the proposed sch...
