A FE-Based Macro-Element for the Assessment of Masonry Structures: Linear Static, Vibration, and Non-Linear Cyclic Analyses

A FE-Based Macro-Element for the Assessment of Masonry Structures: Linear Static, Vibration, and Non-Linear Cyclic Analyses

A Finite Element (FE) based macro–element is described for the mechanical response of masonry structures within different ranges of analysis. The macro–element is composed of discrete rigid quadrilateral FE plates whose adjoining interfaces are connected through FE trusses. It allows representing bo...
