Numerical Modelling Of Two-Way Out-Of-Plane Bending Tests On URM Walls: The Influence Of Lateral Boundary Conditions

Research has shown that lateral boundary conditions can have a large influence on the force capacity of two-way spanning unreinforced masonry (URM) walls subjected to out-of-plane (OOP) loading. Differently than laterally free one-way spanning walls, they show a higher force capacity, which however is underestimated by current analytical...

Extended Lattice Model to Simulate the Printing Process of 3D Printed Cementitious Materials

This paper reports an extended lattice model for printing process simulation of 3D printed cementitious materials. In this model, several influencing factors such as material and geometric nonlinearity are considered. Using this model, green strength of cementitious material is investigated, deformation and crack pattern can be derived, which...
