Structural analyses are particularly difficult to conduct on masonry constructions as a result of the lack of knowledge of the material mechanical properties. However, one well-established peculiar characteristic of masonry is its radically different behavior under tensile and compressive stresses. A suitable constitutive equation has been developed that models masonry as an isotropic elastic non-linear material with zero tensile strength and either infinite or bounded compressive strength. This constitutive equation, which is known as the masonry-like model, has been implemented in the finite element code NOSA-ITACA, which has been successfully applied to the static analysis of several historical masonry buildings as well as the dynamic an...
