Abstract:Based on a benchmark test, this paper discusses the validation process of a new numerical modelling procedure developed for simulating the behaviour of periodic masonry structures. The peculiarity of the analysed MUDis (Multi-Unit Discretization) procedure stands on the possibility to discretize any masonry walls with periodic arrangement using a limited number of repeated modules covering more than a single masonry unit, thus greatly reducing the inherent sources of nonlinearity and minimizing the computation… Show more
