The Impact Factor measures the average number of citations received in a particular year by papers published in the journal during the two preceding years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) IF: 1.4 To calculate the five year Impact Factor, citations are counted in 2017 to the previous five years and divided by the source items published in the previous five years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) 5-Year IF: 1.3 The Immediacy Index is the average number of times an article is cited in the year it is published. The journal Immediacy Index indicates how quickly articles in a journal are cited. Immediacy Index: 2.2 The Eigenfactor score, developed by Jevin West and Carl Bergstrom at the University of Washington, is a rating of the total importance of a scientific journal. Journals are rated according to the number of incoming citations, with citations from highly ranked journals weighted to make a larger contribution to the eigenfactor than those from poorly ranked journals. Eigenfactor: 0.00034 The Journal Citation Indicator (JCI) is a single measurement of the field-normalized citation impact of journals in the Web of Science Core Collection across disciplines. The key words here are that the metric is normalized and cross-disciplinary. JCI: 0.46 SJR: 0.333 SNIP: 0.606 CiteScore™:: 3.1 H-Index: 31

ABSTRAKT

A simple rigid-plastic homogenization model for the analysis of enclosure masonry walls sub- jected to blast loads is presented. The model is characterized by a few material parameters, is numerically inexpensive and very stable, and allows full parametric studies of entire walls subject to blast pressures. With the aim of considering the actual brickwork strength along vertical and horizontal axes, masonry out-of-plane anisotropic failure surfaces are obtained by means of a compatible homogenized limit analysis approach. In the model, a 3D system of rigid infinitely strong bricks connected by joints reduced to interfaces is identified with a 2D Kirchhoff-Love plate. For the joints, which obey an associated flow rule, aMohr-Coulomb fail- ure criterion with a tension cutoff and a linearized elliptic compressive cap is considered. In this way, the macroscopic masonry failure surface is obtained as a function of the macroscopic bending, torque, and in-plane forces by means of a linear programming problem in which the internal power dissipated is minimized. Triangular Kirchhoff-Love elements with linear in- terpolation of the displacements field and constant moment within each element are used at a structural level. In this framework, a simple quadratic programming problem is obtained to analyze entire walls subjected to blast loads. The multiscale strategy presented is adopted to predict the behavior of a rectangular wall supported on three sides (left, bottom, and right) representing an envelope wall in a building and subjected to a standardized blast load. The top edge of the wall is assumed unconstrained due to an imperfect connection (often an inter- layer material is used to prevent damage in the in-fill wall). A comparison with a standard elastic-plastic heterogeneous 3D analysis conducted with a commercial FE code is also pro- vided for a preliminary verification of the procedure at a structural level. The good agreement found and the very limited computational effort required for the simulations conducted with the presented model indicate that the proposed simple tool can be used by practitioners for the safety assessment of out-of-plane loaded masonry panels subjected to blast loading. An ex- haustive parametric analysis is finally conducted with different wall thicknesses, joint tensile strengths, and dynamic pressures, corresponding to blast loads (in kilograms of TNT) ranging from small to large.
