Researches | Masonry Unit & Retrofitting Material | Interface Between Old and New Surface |
---|---|---|
Wang et al. | Bricks are modeled as elastic material | Mortar joint and collar joint are modeled as cohesive interface element by implementing micro-scale model |
Mobarake et al. | Macro-element is applied to model solid bricks | A rigid-interface macro-element is used to model nodal regions |
Kalliontzis and Schultz | Masonry are modeled with eight-node linear element, the post-tension bars are modeled with two-node linear truss element. | The post-tension bars are unbonded, therefore, there is no interface effect between bars and surrounding masonry. |
Soltanzadeh et al. | concrete and brick were modeled with smeared isotropic damage-plasticity law. The post-tensioning bars are modeled with truss element. | The mortar is modeled with a damage-based cohesive element with a finite sliding formulation. |
Maruccio el al. |
Brick and mortar are modeled with eight-node quadrilateral iso-parametric plane stress. The FRP is simulated by a curved beam element. | The interface is modeled with six-node curved zero-thickness elements and the constitutive law is represented with incremental plasticity theory. |
Malena et al. |
Interface element is modeled with fracture Mode-II cohesive material law. | |
Gattulli et al. |
FRP is modeled as truss element, and carry only tensile forces. Total strain rotating crack model to simulate masonry panel. | The interface elements are not used in this model. |
Gattesco and Boem | Masonry is modeled with homogeneous material represented by smeared crack model. GFRP wires are modeled with truss element. | The interface between the GFRP coating and the masonry was assumed to be perfectly attached. |
