- Abstract
On the basis of analyzing and summarizing the recent theoretical researches on constitutive models and failure criteria for brick masonry, a combination of a useful constitutive model with a reasonable failure criterion is used for describing the behavior of brick masonry under the loading in plane. A finite element program of nonlinear analysis is compiled. The predicted results are found to be in good agreement with Andreau's results.
