Abstract
This work compares the ability of different numerical modelling approaches to simulate the out-of-plane behaviour of two-leaf stone masonry walls with different masonry bond configurations: an irregular drystone stone masonry wall and a masonry wall with roughly cut regular stone units. Finite element modelling, considering both a micro and macro-modelling approach, and the distinct element method have been compared in this study, which intends to (i) provide an insight regarding parameter estimation and the calibration procedure for each modelling approach considered; (ii) highlight their pros and cons of the selected modelling strategies; (iii) further expand the existing literature addressing the numerical modelling of two-leaf stone masonry walls.
