Validation of a micro-mechanical homogenisation model : application to shear walls

An improved micro-mechanical model for masonry homogenisation in the non linear domain, is proposed and validated by comparison with experimental and numerical results available in the literature. Suitably chosen deformation mechanisms, coupled with damage and plasticity models, can simulate the beh...
