About this document

3D Micro-Modeling of Masonry with FEM by N T is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This document discusses 3D micro-modeling of masonry units using finite element methods. It summarizes previous research on homogenization techniques used to model masonry. It then presents a 3D micro-model developed by the authors that models the discrete brick, mortar, and closure elements using finite elements. Stress analysis is performed on a single brick wall under vertical loads to analyze stresses in the mortar joints. The mortar joints experience higher stresses than the brick elements.
