Nonlinear static analysis of masonry structures with mortar joints and cracking units by optimization‐based rigid block models

A rigid block model with elasto‐plastic softening interfaces is developed for nonlinear static analysis of masonry structures subject to monotonic loading. Cracking, crushing, and shear failures are taken into account at interfaces, following a simple micro‐modeling approach. An optimization‐based f...
