Summary
This paper discusses the computational modelling of short masonry columns. The
main aim is the preparation of the numerical and experimental background for the development
of concrete-based strenghtening or reinforcing elements for masonry structures.
The input data for the numerical modelling of columns has been obtained by the
remodelling of basic experimental tests of the bricks and the mortar samples. Selected
results of laboratory tests of masonry elements are given and numerical remodelling
is presented. The Willam-Warnke elastic-plastic constitutive model is used for the
numerical analysis. Three-dimensional finite element models are used and for most
of the work the ANSYS software was used. The commercial finite element code is
used because of its general availability. The development of a more suitable numerical
model is also briefly presented. The paper presents experimental data and the corresponding
inputs for the numerical computations. A comparison of the results of the
experimental investigation and of the numerical modelling of masonry columns is also
included.
