A SIMPLE MODEL FOR EVALUATING THE STRUCTURAL RESPONSE OF MASONRY STRUCTURES STRENGTHENED WITH FRP
The paper presents some numerical applications regarding the nonlinear analysis of masonry elements strengthened with fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) materials. In particular, for the modeling approach of the examined structures, a special finite element based on the Timoshenkos theory considering a particular interpolation of the dependent variables has been proposed by the authors. The model includes special features such as interfaces and rigid offsets in order to account some peculiarities characterizing the behavior of masonry structures.The paper is organized into two main parts. In the first part the proposed model is described whilst in the second part some numerical applications are discussed.
