3 3 MOTIVATIONS

4 4 Europe (and not only) is rich of historical buildings, monumental structures and heritage sites. The monumental heritage represents the history and the culture of the Country; it must be saved and preserved and (when necessary consolidated). Most of the heritage constructions are in masonry.

34 34 Phenomenological models

35 Macromechanical models 35 phenomenological constitutive laws for the masonry, derived performing tests on masonry, without distinguishing the blocks and the mortar behavior; unable to describe in detail some micro-mechanisms occurring in the damage evolution of masonry; very effective from a computational point of view for the structural analyses. NO-TENSION MODEL Heyman, 1966; Zienkiewicz et al., 1968; Di Pasquale, 1978; Romano and Romano, 1979; Baratta, 1982; Como and Grimaldi, 1982; Romano and Sacco, 1983; Giaquinta and Giusti, 1988; Del Piero, 1989; Sacco, 1990; Angelillo, 1993; Lucchesi et al. 1994; Luciano and Sacco, 1994; Alfano et al., 2000; Cuomo and Ventura, 2000; Marfia and Sacco, 2005;.

42 No-tension model 42 Masonry material characterized by very low tensile strength with respect to the compression strength. Assumptions: the tensile strength is zero, indefinitely elastic in compression. Consequences: convex strain energy function, reversible constitutive law, no-energy dissipation (unrealistic?), uniqueness of solution stress no-uniqueness of solution displacement apparent simplicity, not trivial numerical treatment.

51 51 Multiscale models

52 Multiscale models different constitutive laws for the units and the mortar joints; homogenization procedure; very appealing, rational way to get the stress-strain relationship of the masonry, accounting for the failure micromechanisms of the masonry; effective models, with reduced computational effort; nonlinear homogenization procedure required to recover a macro-model could induce some theoretical or computational difficulties. 52 Kralj et al.,1991; Pietruszczak and Niu, 1992; Gambarotta and Lagomarsino, 1997; Luciano and Sacco, 1997; Cecchi and Sab, 2002; Cecchi et al. 2005; Uva and Salerno, 2006; Milani et al., 2006; Massart et al, 2007; Sacco, 2009;.

55 UC for masonry material Simple damage model: the cracks occur only in the mortar material which behaves in a perfect elastic-brittle manner, the bricks are indefinitely elastic, the mortar thickness is small, so that the cracks can develop only vertically or horizontally, when a fracture starts to develop, a full failure of a mortar junction is supposed. 55 Luciano, Sacco Int. J. Solids Struct., 1997
