Hi,
I have results from lime mortar testing where only tensile flexural stregth of 0.4 MPa and compressive strength of 0.5 MPa were obtained. In order to make micro-modelling of masonry walls I need the following parameters:
1. Mortar normal stiffness?
2. Mortar shear stiffness?
3. Mortar cohesion?
4. Mortar friction angle?
5. Mortar dilatancy angle?

What are usual values for this type of mortar?
