Abstract
The performance of an interface elastoplastic constitutive model for the analysis of masonry structures is evaluated. In the modelling strategy adopted both masonry components are discretised aiming at a rational unit joint model able to describe cracking, slip and crushing of the material. The parameters necessary to define the model are derived from micro-experiments.
