Nonlinear static analysis of masonry structures with mortar joints and cracking units by optimization‐based rigid block models

Francesco P. A. Portioli,
Paulo B. Lourenço

Abstract: A rigid block model with elasto‐plastic softening interfaces is developed for nonlinear static analysis of masonry structures subject to monotonic loading. Cracking, crushing, and shear failures are taken into account at interfaces, following a simple micro‐modeling approach. An optimization‐based formulation is used for the solution of the equation systems governing the behavior of the rigid block assemblage. A simple incremental solution procedure is implemented to take into account the material softening be… Show more
