- Dilation angle (DA): 30° angle measured in the meridional plane between the failure surface and the hydrostatic axis;
- Plastic potential eccentricity (PPE): 0.1 due to a non-associated potential plastic flow and it is a length’s segment between the vertex of the hyperbola and the asymptotes with respect to the center of the hyperbola;
- Ratio between the initial biaxial and yield compressive stress: 1.16;
- Viscosity parameter (VP): 0.0 visco-plastic regularization.

4. Conclusions
- The different numerical strategies adopted furnish accurate outcomes in terms of axial strength for unconfined masonry columns;
- The proposed strategy adopted to describe the external reinforcement FRCM/SRG by the MA and MI approaches in terms of axial stress and crack pattern are similar;
- For glass-FRCM- and SRG-confined columns, numerical predictions in terms of axial stress–axial strain curves are in good agreement with experimental results in the ascending branches of the curves, while they are inaccurate for describing the post-peak;
- The approach used for the FRCM system resulted in errors of less than 4%, but with a considerable increase in computational burden;
- The approach used for the SRG system could possibly obtain an error of between 5 and 8%.
