Abstract
The first part of this chapter is devoted to the formulation of the
elastic-plastic joint element to determine the structural behavior and
characteristics of masonry structures.
In masonry structures, due to the material properties, only compressive
stress is assumed to exist.
In the second part, to ensure the effectiveness of
the joint element,
the case of plain concrete/mortar under combined stress and
the case of soil where slippage occurs under a footing, are investigated.
