Failure Criterion for Structural Masonry based on Critical Plane Approach
Abstract
The paper presents a macroscopic failure criterion for structural masonry. This criterion is derived within the framework of the critical plane approach. First, a general discussion is provided examining the performance of this framework in the context of classical linear as well as nonlinear criteria. Subsequently, a bilinear form of failure criterion for structural masonry is proposed incorporating a set of distribution functions for …
