“…Numerical modeling provides an effective platform for investigating the structural response of engineering systems at a fraction of the cost of experiments. Modelling approaches for studying the behaviour of masonry structures based on finite element method include (i) macromodelling [12,13] (ii) simplified micro-modelling [14,15] and (iii) detailed micro-modelling [16,17,18,19]. In this paper, a simplified micro-modelling approach based on cohesive elements and a VUMAT subroutine was implemented in Abaqus 2021 to model URM walls.…”

This paper studies the in-plane response of unreinforced clay brickwork masonry wall panels. For this purpose, a non-linear three-dimensional heterogenous Finite Element (FE) model was developed using ABAQUS software. The model was validated against experimental studies obtained from the literature. Then, a parametric study was undertaken to investigate the effects of a) pre-compression, b) Height to Length ratio (H/L) of the wall and c) H/L of the masonry units on the in-plane strength, initial stiffness, peak drift and ultimate drift limit. Finally, results obtained from the FE computational models compared against those obtained from design codes (Eurocode) for determining the in-plane force capacity and drift capacity of the URM walls. From the analysis of results it was found that in most cases, Eurocode overestimates the ultimate drift ratio when compared to the findings from the FE analyses.

Masonry construction, an archaic and versatile building technique, entails the assembly of varied or homogeneous components (including brick, concrete block, stone, etc.) bound by cohesive agents such as mortar. The purpose of this study was to authenticate the validity of an ABAQUS-based solution corresponding to the experimental model of masonry shear walls tested by Raijmakers and Vermeltfoort under in-plane loading, thereby substantiating a developed Finite Element (FE) model. Utilizing a general nonlinear static procedure, the ABAQUS finite element software was employed for scrutinizing a continuous (990×1000) mm brick wall, absent of any openings. Analysis of the unreinforced masonry (URM) wall, facilitated by the ABAQUS software, yielded results that closely mirrored those of the experimental model. This comparison serves to underscore the implications of the current modeling approach and the proposed wall properties on its response, thereby fostering an enhanced comprehension of the global in-plane behavior of unreinforced brick masonry walls.
