X Abstract

The mechanics of masonry structures have been underdeveloped for a long time in comparison with other fields of knowledge. Presently, nonlinear analysis is a popular field in masonry research and homogenization techniques play a major role despite the mathematical and conceptual difficulties inherent to this approach. This paper addresses different homogenization techniques available in published literature, aiming at defining a first catalogue and at discussing the advantages and disadvantages of the different approaches. Finally, special attention is given to a micromechanical based model and a model based on a polynomial expansion of the microstress field. These seem promising and accurate strategies for advanced structural analysis.L'aspect mécanique des structures en maçonnerie s'est peu développé par rapport à d'autres domaines techniques. L'analyse non linéaire est présentement un domaine populaire de la recherche en maçonnerie et les techniques d'homogénéisation y jouent un rôle important, malgré les difficultés mathématiques et conceptuelles associées à cette approche. Le présent article traite des différentes techniques d'homogénéisation disponibles dans la littérature, vise à définir un premier catalogue et discute des avantages et des inconvénients des différentes approches. Finalement, une attention particulière est accordée à un modèle micromécanique et à un modèle basé sur une extension d'un polynôme du domaine des microcontraintes. Ce sont des stratégies qui semblent prometteuses et précises pour des analyses structurales poussées.
