A coupled homogenisation-damage model for masonry cracking

Cracking is responsible for the vast majority of masonry non-linear behaviour, due to the low tensile strength of the material. Masonry features orthotropic behaviour with material axes normal and parallel to the bed joints, being the response straightforward for tension normal to the bed joints and...
