The aim of the paper is to propose and assess the reliability of a modeling strategy which combines the homogenization of the masonry material and the use of zero-thickness interface elements. This strategy is specifically proposed for numerically investigating the structural response of FRP-reinforced curved masonry structures. Indeed, in order to consider the influence of the geometry curvature of the masonry substrate on the local bond behavior of the FRP-strengthening system, bond-slip laws which specifically account for the geometric curvature of the substrate are introduced at the FRP/substrate interface layer. Numerical analyses concerning masonry arches selected from the current literature are presented in the paper in order to assess the reliability of the proposed modelling approach.

Abstract
The aim of the paper is to propose and assess the reliability of a modeling strategy which combines the homogenization of the masonry material and the use of zero-thickness interface elements. This strategy is specifically proposed for numerically investigating the structural response of FRP-reinforced curved masonry structures. Indeed, in order to consider the influence of the geometry curvature of the masonry substrate on the local bond behavior of the FRP-strengthening system, bond-slip laws which specifically account for the geometric curvature of the substrate are introduced at the FRP/substrate interface layer. Numerical analyses concerning masonry arches selected from the current literature are presented in the paper in order to assess the reliability of the proposed modelling approach.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
