A micro-mechanical model for the homogenized limit analysis of out-of-plane loaded masonry walls

The paper presents a novel micro-mechanical model for the homogenized limit analysis of out-of-plane loaded masonry walls. In the framework of homogenization combined with limit analysis, masonry thickness is subdivided in several layers and for each layer polynomial distributions for the stress fie...
