Mechanics of Masonry Structures

The experience of people working with different perspectives in different fields of masonry modeling, from mathematics to applied engineering and practice, is brought together in this book. It presents both the theoretical background and an overview of the state-of-the-art in static and dynamic masonry modeling.

List of contents

Masonry behavior and modeling.- Mathematics of the masonry-like model and limit analysis.- A numerical method for solving BVP of masonry-like solids.- Practical applications of unilateral models to Masonry Equilibrium.- Modeling the interfaces in masonry structures.- Micro, macro and multiscale models for masonry structures.- Homogenization and seismic assessment: review and recent trends.

Summary

The experience of people working with different perspectives in different fields of masonry modeling, from mathematics to applied engineering and practice, is brought together in this book. It presents both the theoretical background and an overview of the state-of-the-art in static and dynamic masonry modeling.
