A multi-parameter homogenization study for modeling elastic masonry
The paper deals with effective elastic properties of masonry. Homogenization approach based on scale paremeters is used. Using two additional small parameters, the authors obtain solution of cell problem in analytical form. These parameters are: ratio between the elastic moduli of the mortar and blocks, and ratio between the thickness of the mortar joint and the characteristic length of the microstructure.
