Recognizing that the latest masonry research is not often centralized and streamlined, this tutorial brings together expert masonry artists from around the world who detail state-of-the-art techniques for modeling masonry, brickwork, and blockwork structures. The 10 chapters are divided into five topic areas: damage and failure models; vibration and earthquake effects; settlement; fire; and historic buildings. Also discussed are computational strategies for masonry, bridges and arches, masonry cracking, nonlinear modeling of masonry, and dynamic behavior of masonry.
