Abstract
Based on the micro-mechanical model formulations, and taking advantage of their low computational cost, a comprehensive parametric investigation is performed, covering the effects of several material parameters on the compressive strength of masonry. Finally, a closed-form expression for the determination of the compressive strength of masonry based on the properties of the units and the mortar is proposed.
