Different Possibilities for Modelling Cracked Masonry Structures

The finite element method (FEM) is a numerical method used for solving different problems in engineering field. The starting point being a continuum media of the structure, meaning that the structure is undamaged. However, in order to be able to represent the actual stated of the structure, with all of its defects and cracks, it is necessary to incorporate these anomalies. This all with the aim that the model is a good representative of the real structure. This paper gives and overview of several numerical approached in the modelling of discontinuities on the masonry structures.
