Validation of analytical and continuum numerical methods for estimating the compressive strength of masonry

The advances in computational mechanics witnessed in the last decades have made available a large variety of numerical tools. Sophisticated non-linear models are now standard in several finite element based programs. This paper addresses the ability of continuum numerical methods, based on plasticit...
