Dataset of the paper "A single-surface multi-failure strength domain for masonry"

This dataset, developed in the framework of the H2020 HOLAHERIS project, contains code and results related to a single-surface multi-failure strength domain formulation for masonry. This formulation represents a straightforward method for establishing a unified strength domain to analyze the in-plane behavior of masonry structures. The method lays the groundwork for developing homogeneous continuum models and relies on micro-mechanical analyses using a block-based model for masonry. In this model, blocks are treated as finite strength continuum bodies interacting through zero-thickness interfaces. The strength domain is derived by identifying three failure mechanisms: crushing failure, joint failure, and mixed joint-block failure. Each mechanism's limit surface is determined based on limit equilibrium principles, with a novel rational treatment for mixed mechanisms. These limit surfaces are intersected to create a multi-surface strength domain, which is then simplified into a single-surface using the RealSoftMax function, preserving the explicit distinction between all failure mechanisms. The resulting strength domain inherits material parameters from the block-based model. Generated strength domains are also collected herein, together with their comparison with state-of-the-art approaches.
