- We present and validate against physical experiments an advanced computational strategy for masonry structures under earthquake loading. A novel material description for mortar joints coupling damage and plasticity within a robust local computational framework allows for strength and stiffness degradation under cyclic loading. The new material model represents the cornerstone of subsequent developments in ongoing projects for high-fidelity simulations of masonry bridges under earthquakes (H2020-RAMBEA-846061, £195k at Imperial) and repeated traffic loading (EPSRC-EP/T001607/1-EP/T001305/1-EP/T001348/1, £1,853k collaboration between Imperial and Universities of Sheffield and Leeds) and for improved assessment of real masonry viaducts (Network Rail, £383k, contact: FoEREF@ic.ac.uk).
