An enriched 2D multi-scale model based on a Cosserat continuum for the analysis of regular masonry

Abstract

A multi-scale nonlinear homogenization procedure is presented for the analysis of the inplane structural response of masonry panels characterized by a regular texture. A Cosserat continuum model is adopted at the macroscopic level, while a classical Cauchy model is employed at the microscopic scale; proper bridging conditions are stated to connect the two scales. The constitutive behaviour of bricks and mortar at the microscopic level is based on a scalar damage model, non symmetric in tension and compression. As for the regularization of the strain softening response, the standard fracture energy method is used at micro-level, while at the macro-level the inner capabilities of Cosserat continuum are exploited. A numerical example is presented and a comparison with an experimental test is performed
