Abstract

Based on the test results of typical Masonry structure's compressive capacity,suitable space model utilizing ANSYS was established.Considering the failure mode and material properties,we divided masonry structure into the block element,mortar joint element and contact element,presented different constitution and damage criterion for each part material.The results of finite element analysis agree well with experiment,which suggest that the applicability of ANSYS to masonry structural analysis.Then we described and analyzed the failure mode of masonry structure under axial loads,and provided some suggestions.
