Popis: This paper uses the Generalized Finite Element method for the introduction of the cohesive joint behaviour to model masonry. Cracked joints are modelled as displacement discontinuities and are introduced in the finite element model by additional degrees of freedom. These degrees of freedom are activated when the stress state in the joint reaches a critical level. The joint behaviour is governed by a rigid plasticity model.
