⚠️ Priestley and Elder (1983) are used to calibrate the masonry material model

Behavior is linearly elastic up to the stress level of 0.5 f 0 m, followed by a softening behavior before it reaching the peak strength, which approximately corresponds to a strain of 0.0015. The strength degrades rapidly represented by a high slope curve after post peak to a constant value of 0.2f 0 m, for strains greater than ecp

💻 Model:

✅ 5120 elements

✅ 6273 nodes

✅ average element size of 24.2 mm

Stress strain relationship from FEM: good agreement with the experimental results
