The micromechanical behaviour of running bond adobe masonry with straw fibre reinforced bricks is investigated. Finite element analysis was carried out under the assumptions of periodic masonry, plane stress conditions, and unit cell subjected to principal stresses only, leading to derive critical curves. Both classical elasticity and bi-modular theories were applied to bricks and mortar, adopting...
A theoretical and numerical non-linear analysis of the homogenized response of composite solids with periodic micro-structure subjected to macroscopically uniform strain is here developed, by including the effects of instabilities occurring at both macroscopic and microscopic levels. The theory, formulated for incrementally linear materials, provides an original closed-form representation of homogenized...
