Abstract
The present study addresses the retrofitting of running-bond masonry walls through the application of oriented strand board (OSB) timber panels aiming to increase the masonry flexural strength and deformation capacity under out-of-plane actions. This paper presents the numerical analysis of masonry prisms to complement the information provided by the experimental campaign developed on flexural performances of timber retrofitted masonries. The numerical model represents the masonry components (brick and mortar) as a three-dimensional volume via volumetric finite elements, i.e. hexahedral 8-node linear brick elements with reduced integration and hourglass control. The nonlinear properties of the mortar joints and the brick units have been calibrated through information that resorts from experimental characterization tests. The numerical damage pattern and load-displacement capacity curve are compared with the experimental observations. A good agreement has been found and, therefore, the calibrated model can be employed in parametric studies, to further analyse the efficiency of the proposed timber masonry retrofit technique, and to more complex structural study cases.
