Computational strategies for masonry structures : multi-scale modeling, dynamics, engineering applications and other challenges

Masonry is a composite material that can be defined as a material incorporating a visible internal structure and having a low strength in tension. The latter characteristic has shaped most civil engineering structures up to the advent of reinforced concrete and iron/steel. Masonry is also present in...
