  Analytical Modeling of Brick–Mortar Couplet

  By T. C. Nwofor

  Abstract: This paper is a presentation of the finite element modeling of stress in a brick–mortar couplet. The brick–mortar couplet here serves as a meaningful substitute for a brick wall structure. In this work, the basic steps in derivation of the element stiffness matrix for a plane stress problem using the displacement approach are presented. The main purpose in the work is to verify the nodal displacements, which in turn would …
