Investigation of masonry elasticity and shear moduli using finite element micro-models
O. A. Mavrouli and C. A. Syrmakezis
Abstract
In this paper, a methodology for the estimation of masonry elasticity and shear moduli is presented, for linear elasticity considerations. The methodology is based on the assumption that for a
