This work is dedicated to the assessment of the nonlinear behaviour of masonry panels with
regular texture and subject to in-plane loads, by means of numerical pushover analysis and …

An accurate and fast failure simulation for masonry walls is still an active field of research,
due to its fundamental role in predicting the overall response of masonry structures under …

Numerical modeling of masonry structures is nowadays still an active research field, and this
is partly due to a number of open issues related to preservation and restoration of historical …

In the last decades the modeling of masonry structures has become an argument particularly
appealing for many researchers and a large variety of numerical techniques have been …

This paper presents and validates a non-commercial rigid block model code for performing
pushover analysis of one leaf masonry assemblages with regular texture, in three …

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 …

The aim of the paper is to present and validate a non commercial discrete element model
(DEM) code for the nonlinear analysis of in plane loaded masonry panels, with dry or mortar …

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 …

Nonlinear behavior of masonry panels is a topic of great interest in the civil engineering and
architecture fields. Several numerical approaches may be found in the literature. Here, three …

In this work, a refined rigid block model is proposed for studying the in‐plane behavior of
regular masonry. The rigid block model is based on an existing discrete/rigid model with …
