A micro-mechanical model for the homogenisation of masonry
Masonry is a composite material made of units (brick, blocks, etc.) and mortar. For periodic arrangements of the units, the homogenisation techniques represent a powerful tool for structural…

Non-linear behaviour of masonry under tension
For the micro-modelling of masonry in numerical programs that take non-linear behaviour into account, a complete description of the behaviour of masonry components has to be available. "Complete"…
Testing and modelling of masonry creep and damage in uniaxial compression
The problems related to the analysis of ancient constructions are gigantic due to the difficulties in characterizing the geometry, the materials, the sequence of construction, the existing damage and…
Compressive strength of solid clay brick mansory under eccentric loading
Arches, vaults and pillars generally experience eccentric normal force. As a consequence, the classical theories of masonry collapse, developed for concentrically compressed brickwork, are not…
Compression properties of masonry and its components
For the use in (computer) calculations accurate figures for the mechanical properties of masonry and its components are needed. In this paper the strength and stiffness of 170 masonry specimens are…
