FE homogenized limit analysis code for masonry buildings

In this paper, a FE homogenized limit analysis code for the collapse analysis of 3D masonry buildings subjected to horizontal actions is presented. In the code, masonry is modelled through a fictitious macroscopic homogeneous material. Masonry macroscopic mechanical properties are obtained by means...
