Masonry-like material  Thermal expansion  Equilibrium problem  Physical Science and Engineering 

In this paper the constitutive equation of masonry-like materials is generalised in order to account for thermal dilatation. Subsequently, the explicit solution to the equilibrium problem if of a circular ring subjected I0 two uniform radial pressures pi and pg, acting respectively on the inner and outer boundary and a temperature distribution depending linearly on the radius, is calculated
