An interface-based microscopic model for the failure analysis of masonry structures reinforced with timber retrofit solutions

Fabrizio Greco, Lorenzo Leonetti, Paolo Lonetti, Paolo Nevone Blasi, Arturo Pascuzzo, Giacinto Porco

This paper presents a refined Finite Element (FE) modeling strategy for analyzing the failure behavior of regular masonry structures reinforced with timber-based retrofit solutions. The proposed model schematizes the masonry as brick…

Crack tip field in circumferentially-cracked round bar (CCRB) in tension affected by loss of axial symmetry

J. Toribio, B. González, J.C. Matos

In this paper, the stress intensity factor (SIF) is computed in a circumferentially-cracked round bar (CCRB) subjected to tensile loading, considering that the resistant ligament is circular and exhibits certain eccentricity in relation to…
