A simple micro-mechanical model for the homogenised limit analysis of in-plane loaded masonry is proposed. Assuming brickwork under plane stress condition and adopting a polynomial expansion for the 2D stress field, a linear optimisation problem is derived on the elementary cell in order to recover the homogenised failure surface of the brickwork. Different models of higher accuracy are obtained by increasing the degree of the polynomial approximation. Several cases of technical interest are… Expand
