Numerical simulation of concrete block masonry under compression

The main goal of this work is evaluate numerical model to reproduce the compression test of concrete block prisms, through a constitutive model of materials using the theory of plasticity and compare its results with experimental tests to preview the stress, strain and failure mode of the masonry. T...
