Abstract
''This paper aims to analyze the behavior of experimentally tested unreinforced masonry walls subjected to in-plane loading. Monotonic load analyses are
conducted using FEM and AEM modeling approaches. The models presented here
are based on the assumption of both unit and mortar joints modeled as solid elements, which behave nonlinearly. Therefore, the damages occur along the mortar and brick in the analyses. The FEM analysis is carried out by using LS-DYNA, and the AEM analysis is carried out by using ELS (Extreme Loading for Structures). Experimental studies of a masonry wall in-plane loading conditions are used for verification against numerical models. Analysis of the tests performed on masonry shear walls by Raijmakers and Vermeltfoort within the CUR project is carried out. The presented analyses methods can be applied to other unit and mortar compositions. Computational results from this study provide a monotonic load-deformation curve, which then is compared to the envelope of the horizontal load-deformation curves that are experimentally obtained. The agreement of each method with the experimental
results, in terms of strength, stiffness and ductility, as well as the predicted damage mechanisms, are discussed.''
