| Resumo: | A numerical investigation is performed to investigate the potential of a discrete macro-element coupled with a mesoscale approach for the seismic assessment of unreinforced masonry structures. At first, parametric analyses are performed on a U-shape stone masonry prototype. Nonlinear static analyses are performed to investigate parameters that affect the results when a mesoscale masonry pattern representation is adopted. Results prove the suitability of a mesoscale representation of unreinforced masonry structures through a discrete macro-element approach. Furhthermore, it is demonstrated that an irregular placement of masonry units’ have a significant role in the structural response, either from a strength and ductility standpoints, when compared to a regular and periodic distribution of units. |
