Non-linear continuous model for three leaf masonry walls

摘要

Three-leaf brick masonry wall is a typical technique in historical buildings. Sensitivity of three-leaf brick masonry wall to core mechanical characteristics and interface between layers is studied by reference to an experimental campaign. Experimental activities were performed on three-leaf masonry panel under compressive loads and is used to identify mechanical characteristic of three-leaf masonry wall and calibrate a 2D plain strain model (without and with interfaces between layers) for cross section of panel. A parametric analysis on inner core and interface between layers mechanical characteristic sensitivity is proposed. Numerical modeling results are presented and discussed in comparison with experimental data. (C) 2020 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
