ABSTRACT
This paper is concerned with the meso-scale modeling of mechanical response of regular natural stone masonry structures. The proposed approach relies on classical uncoupled numerical homogenization. The detailed analysis on a meso-scale is carried out to obtain the homogenized material parameters needed in the macroscopic constitutive law. Several examples are presented to document this modeling framework.
