FE homogenised limit analysis model for masonry structures

A finite-element (FE) homogenised limit analysis model suitable for analysing masonry structures near collapse is applied to a real large-scale three-dimensional (3D) masonry building subjected to horizontal actions. In the model, masonry is substituted for a fictitious macroscopic homogeneous mater...
