Abstract: The aim of this work is the study of masonry behavior by means of a homogenized model in several perturbative parameters. The difficulty in the mechanical modeling of masonry depends on its

Abstract: The increasingly widespread use of fiber-reinforced polymers as an alternative to conventional materials makes it necessary to formulate theoretical models which adequately evaluate the influence of the anisotropy of such ...

Abstract: The linear elastic analysis of in-plane and out-of-plane loaded masonry walls is still significant under service loads and is required by codes of practice, therefore the knowledge of the homogenized mechanical properties ...
