A critical review of analytical and numerical models for studying masonry out of plane
behaviour is presented. One leaf historical masonry, composed by rigid blocks arranged …

A modal analysis in linear elastic field for periodic masonry structures is proposed, based on
continuous and discrete models. The continuum model is based on analytical …

The masonry of old structures varies in a wide range: geometry of walls and columns, type
and dressing of stones, joint constructions and materials, and others. Also repair work and …

In this paper, a novel 3D detailed micro-model to analyse the mechanical response of
masonry panels under in-plane and out-of-plane loading conditions is proposed. The …

In this chapter, a review of the available methods and their challenges to simulate the
mechanical behavior of masonry structures are presented. Different micro-modeling …

The development of adequate stress analyses for masonry structures represents an
important task not only for verifying the stability of masonry constructions, as old buildings …

In the last forty years an enormous growth in the development of numerical tools for
structural analysis has been achieved. The use of such tools demands advanced testing in …

In this paper a comparison of different modeling strategies for brick masonry panels under
lateral loads is presented. The aim of the study was to evaluate the reliability of numerical …

A homogenization technique has been introduced to investigate the elastic-brittle behaviour
of masonry panels subject to incremental lateral loading. For modelling the elastic behaviour …
