Abstract
In this study, the effectiveness of 3-dimensional fixed smeared crack model in the micro-model analysis of masonry walls is investigated. The three parameters concrete model which special case of William Warnke model, is used to calculate the nonlinear behavior of mortar and brick regions of this wall. For numerical analysis, Solid65 concrete element in Ansys finite element program is selected. For the comparison of the numerical results, the base shear force-top displacement curve and the cracking zones obtained from the experimental results of the Eindhoven walls JD4, JD6 and JD7 are used. An equation for compressive strength of the brick, and the values for shear stress transfer coefficients are recommended with purpose of using in micro level static push-over analyzes of masonry walls.
