Modeling Nonlinear Deformation and Destruction Masonry under Biaxial Stresses Part 1 – Masonry as Simulation Object
Masonry is a complex multicomponent composite consisting of dissimilar materials (brick / stone and mortar). Masonry deformation process under loading depends on the mechanical characteristics of the basic composite materials, as well as of the parameters of the elements defining binding between brick and mortar being the interface elements. Traditional methods of masonry modeling are based on the use of generalized ("effective") mechanical properties of the composite as a continuant homogeneous continuant medium. This paper presents an overview and analysis of continuant masonry models adequately reflecting the process of elastic, and in some cases elastic-plastic masonry deformation within the composition of stone structural elements. The paper provides analysis of the experimental research results of masonry behaviour in a biaxial stress state at primary stresses of opposite signs; identifies masonry destruction mechanisms complying with the conditions of stress state. The work demonstrates the key role played by interface elements in the formation of masonry destruction processes. Based on destruction mechanisms deduced from experiments, there was developed a discrete model of masonry. A system of masonry strength criteria was proposed corresponding to the biaxial stress state conditions at primary stresses of opposite signs. For purposes of studying the elastic-plastic deformation and destruction of masonry, there was developed a technology of numerical experiment performance using calculation technologies with a stepwise tracking of stress-and-strain state, at step-by-step loading. The scope of this paper includes verification of modeling method and technology of numerical experiment at various parameters of interface elements defining binding between bricks and mortar.
