Numerical modeling for homogenization of masonry structures

Jerzy Szolomicki

Abstract


In the present study, equivalent elastic properties, strength envelope and different failure patterns of masonry material are homogenized by numerically simulating responses of a representative element under different stress conditions.
The representative volume element provides a valuable dividing boundary between the discrete model and the continuum model. This paper presented a computational homogenization technique of masonry.
