Abstract

The masonry model, representing an elastic mortar and elastic bricks, is analyzed with aim to evaluate effective elastic moduli and strength properties. By means of the direct finite element simulation and homogenization procedure the analysis of variation influence in the heterogeneous material microstructure characteristics (influence of brick aspect ratio and orientation angle) on the local stress-strain state and mechanical properties of the representative volume element of considered composite has been fulfilled.
