MECHANICAL BEHAVIOUR OF MASONRY
Masonry is a COMPOSITE MATERIAL made of components characterized by DIFFERENT MECHANICAL PROPERTIES.
- BRICKWORK is one of the most common type of masonry. It consist of:BRICKS & MORTAR JOINTS
Let's consider a UNIAXIAL COMPRESSION TEST
COMMENTS:
- bricks are STIFFER & STRONGER than mortar
- bricks have a BRITTLE BEHAVIOUR
- mortar has a DUCTILE BEHAVIOUR
- MASONRY has an intermediate behaviour between brick and mortar
COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH OF MASONRY
* To determine the COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH of masonry let's make the following hypothesis:
- BRICKS & MORTAR obey MOHR - COULOMB criterion:
|τ| ≤ c + σ tan φ - internal friction angle
* We can assume that the real masonry specimen can be substitute by a layered medium
2) Axisymmetric Stress State
* Thanks to this hypothesis we have a uniform stress state
σb11 = σm11 σb22 = σm22 σb33 = σm33 σzz = σ12 = -σ → compression
* Since there are not horizontal stresses acting on the element, the horizontal stress average must be zero:
σm 11 hm + σb 11 hb = 0 σm 11 = -σb 11 hm / hb = -σm 11 αh αh = hm / hb ( M ⋅ (Σ ⋅ m) ∈ M (t ⋅ m)
M (Σ - t) M ≤ 0 the eigenvalue of the tensor must be NON-POSITIVE
* this inequality reads that Σ - t MUST BE NEGATIVE SEMI-DEFINITE
b) COMPRESSIVE PRINCIPAL STRESS ONLY ALONG 1 DIRECTION (II=0)
! THE CRACKING STRAIN TENSOR IS ORTHOGONAL TO THE STRESS TENSOR
- εcr > 0 → non-negative
- σi:εcr = 0 → orthogonality
- σ & εcr COLLINEAR → same principal directions
* From a physical point of view, the ORTHOGONALITY CAN between σ & ξ means that there is NO POWER DISSIPATED in CRACKING
FAILURE MODES OF MASONRY
1) UNIAXIAL COMPRESSION: failure usually occurs by cracking and sliding in the head and/or bed joints.
2) UNIAXIAL TENSION:
The AVERAGE SHEAR AT WHICH CRUSHING OCCURS is
Tc = λcF/A PB/2FH(1 + 2λ/B √F/8t)
Tc = P/2H B/B(1 + 2λ/B √F/8t) = σB/2H(1 + 2λ/B √F/8t)
Comparing Tc & Tot we have that Tot/Tc is a REDUCTION FACTOR that takes into account the FAILURE COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH of MASONRY
Normally, in masonry walls, σ 0
e = N/2
e ≤ b/2
(1)
Mo - Nc - mob/ℓ + λkxF a/2 ≤ b/2 (P - 2Mo/ℓ)
λkx = 2Pb/FH
* in this case NO CRACKS develops so NO PLASTIC
HINGES will form.
MACROSCOPIC BEHAVIOUR of MASONRY
* To analyze a masonry building it is possible to use:
① MICROMECHANICAL APPROACH
- Takes into account of the heterogeneous nature of the building
- Bricks and mortar are modelled separately
- Cannot be used to analyze big buildings because it requires a huge mesh
② MACROMECHANICAL APPROACH:
- Masonry is replaced by a homogeneized material
- Rough mesh required
- It is necessary to determine the homogeneized properties of the material
MACROSCOPIC ELASTIC BEHAVIOUR of MASONRY
* Linear elasticity can be used to analyze masonry walls at service conditions, when the presence of cracks can be neglected
① MODEL NEGLECTING HEAD JOINTS:
* Hp: {Head joints neglected Poisson’s ratio neglected νhm ≈ pbo ≈ 0
* Masonry is modelled as a layered medium
* Let’s define: Ebx = σ⁄Eb Emx = σ⁄Em
* The MACROSCOPIC VERTICAL STRAIN of the layered medium is:
E = Ebho + Emihm⁄Rhohm= σ⁄Eb + σ⁄Em= σ⁄E
* the MICROSCOPIC STRAIN FIELD (ξ(x)) must be PERIODIC, then
ξ(x) = E x + μper(x)
ξ(x) = E + ξper(x)
∮ ξper(x) = ξ + φ
* if J(x) and ξ(x) are PERIODIC then the HILL'S MACRO-HOMOGENEITY holds:
⟨J(x) : ξ(x)⟩ = ⟨J(x)⟩ : ⟨ξ(x)⟩ = ζ : E
it states the EQUIVALENCE of the VIRTUAL WORK at the MICRO & MACRO SCALE
METHOD 1: 2-STEP HOMOGENIZATION APPROACH:
• STEP 1
* Let's consider a LAYERED MEDIUM
with a 3D stress state
⎧ k = Σ11 + Ỹ11
⎪ 22 = Σ22 + Ỹ22
⎨ 12 = Σ12 + Ỹ12
⎩
⎧ 33 = E33 + Ę33
⎪ 13 = E13 + Ę13
⎨ 23 = E23 + Ę23
⎩
Ỹj: auxiliary stress
Ęj: auxiliary strain
→ the remaining components are:
⎧ 13 = Σ13
⎪ 23 = Σ23
⎨ 33 = Σ33
⎩
⎧ Ęk = E11
⎪ Ę22 = E22
⎨ Ę12 = E12

Macroscopic Strength of Masonry
Homogenization Theory
* Let's consider a masonry wall subjected to the maximum load PE that the wall can sustain.
* We substitute the real material with an homogenized medium and we want to determine the strength domain Ghom.
* Ghom must be such that: lim PE = phom when RVE, we have E → 0 that PE = phom
Static Definition of Ghom (Suquet)
Ghom = { ∫ 1 Σ = < U(zξ) > div U(zξ) = 0 ∀ x ε V t = U(xm) antiperiodic over ∂V[[ U(x) ]] Mτ = 0 across ⊂ SτU(x) ε G(x) ∀ z ε V }
- div U(x) = 0 → because we are neglecting body forces
- t antiperiodic over ∂V → at 2 opposite points, the stress vector must equal and opposite due to the periodicity of the geometry of the real body
- [[ U(x) ]] Mτ = 0 across any ⊂ Sτ → the stress field in the RVE can be discontinuous but, the stress vector must be continuous along Sτ
no jump of the stress field across Sτ
