Abstract
Experimental data on mechanical behavior of ceramics and cementitious composites subjected to triaxial state of stress and verification of the theoretical model capable to describe deformability and fracture of brittle rock-like materials are presented in the paper. To check the validity of the theoretical model the stress–strain curves and stresses at material fracture determined experimentally for brick and mortar were compared with the theoretical predictions. The limit surface at material fracture obtained experimentally from triaxial tests was used in numerical analysis of masonry specimens subjected to compressive loading. These numerical results obtained by employing the Finite Element Method software package Mafem3D were compared with experimental data available in the literature. Fairly good agreement of numerical predictions with experimental results for masonry specimens was observed.
