Abstract EN
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 rigid blocks and elastoplastic interfaces that already proven its effectiveness in representing masonry behavior in linear and nonlinear fields.
In this case, the proposed model is improved by assuming rigid quadrilateral elements connected by one-dimensional nonlinear interfaces, which are adopted both to represent mortar (or dry) joints between the blocks and also to represent inner potential cracks into the blocks.
Furthermore, the softening behavior of interfaces in tension and shear is taken into account.
Several numerical tests are performed by considering masonry panels with regular texture subjected to compression and shear.
Particular attention is given to the collapse mechanisms and the pushover curves obtained numerically and compared with existing numerical and laboratory results.
Furthermore, the numerical tests aim to evaluate the applicability limits of the proposed model with respect to existing results.
