Numerical Analysis to Predict the Masonry Buildings Mechanical Behavior
A mesoscale Lattice Discrete Particle Model (LDPM) is used to capture the mechanical behavior of the historical masonry structures, made up of irregular stone elements distributed in a chaotic texture of poor mortar joints, widespread all over the world and constituting most of the monumental and historical-heritage of inestimable artistic and architectural-value.
