Anisotropic softening model for masonry plates and shells

A model for the numerical analysis of masonry subjected to out-of-plane loading is proposed. The proposed composite plasticity model is able to reproduce elastic and inelastic behavior in two orthogonal directions coinciding with the orientation of the bed and bead joints of masonry. The implementat...
