Validation of a Hemi-Variational Block-Based Approach to the Modelling of Common In-plane Failures in Masonry Structures

Numerical simulations of several planar failure modes of masonry structures are presented, based on the model and solving code from a recent hemivariational block-based model inspired from granular micromechanics (Tran et al. [33]). The numerical tests include a comparison with literature results for a constant shearing load, a parametric study of the influence of mortar thickness, and the simulation of common failures such as bending, shear sliding, and rocking. The results show that the studied model is able to capture common failure modes. Conclusions and insights towards the extension of the studied model are then given.
