Proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Fracture Mechanics of Concrete and Concrete Structures (FraMCoS-8), p. 1558-1566 | Abstract: | A mesoscopic masonry model is presented using the partition of unity finite element method. Joints are only explicitly introduced when a critical stress state is exceeded, resulting in a computationally more efficient procedure when compared to models in which all joints are a priori active. The performance of the presented model is demonstrated by several numerical examples. | Keywords: | masonry; partition of unity; mesoscopic model | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/14632 | ISBN: | 978-84-941004-1-3 | Category: | C1 | Type: | Proceedings Paper |
