The aim of this paper is to identify the macroscopic overall effective elastic properties of masonry in relation to variations in the intrinsic specific parameters which characterize the microstructure. Using a finite-element technique, Cecchi and Di Marco (2000) performed a parametric study on the

Masonry has been a broadly used material since the beginning of human life. Despite its popularity, the analysis of masonry structures is a complex task due to the heterogeneity and the non-linear material behaviour. The need for reliable analysis procedures capable of predicting damage evolution an
By considering masonry as a composite material, its mechanical properties are obtained by taking into account the properties of the components (bricks and mortar) through a homogenisation technique. To describe the behaviour of the material components a unilateral damage model is proposed. This mode
