Finite Element Study on the Shear Capacity of Traditional Joints between Walls Made of AAC Masonry Units

This paper presents the development of a numerical model aimed at the simulation of nonlinear behaviour of traditional joints between walls made of autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) masonry units. Nonlinear behaviour and cracking of AAC and mortar were simulated using the concrete damaged plasticity...
