Determination of the numerical parameters of a continuous damage model for the structural analysis of clay brick masonry

Determination of the numerical parameters of a continuous damage model for the structural analysis of clay brick masonry

Models based on the continuous damage theory present good responses in representing the nonlinear behavior of reinforced concrete structures with loss of strength and stiffness of the material. However, damage theory is rarely employed in the analysis of masonry structures and numerical simulations...
