Experimental and Numerical Modeling of the Destroying of Brick Masonry for the Analysis of Buildings Accident

Article Preview

Abstract:

The results of experiments and numerical modeling of fracturing of samples of brick masonry are presented; complete stress-strain diagram for samples are obtained; a possibility of replacing a composite material by homogeneous material with effective stiffness characteristics is investigated; the new method and computer simulation for these purposes are suggested. The examples based on real constructions with partial destruction in the form of cracks in load-bearing brick walls have been studied by the means of numerical simulations.
