This paper presents the results of several numerical analyses aimed at investigating the in-
plane resistance of masonry walls by means of two modelling approaches: a finite element …

Masonry walls consist of the main elements responsible for the global stability of masonry
buildings when subjected to lateral loads such as wind and seismic forces. These elements …

In-plane strength of masonry walls is affected by the resistant mechanisms activated in the
walls, ie, related to flexural or shear behavior. The latter one can occur in the walls …

Abstract The Boundary Element Method is applied to the static analysis of two masonry walls
previously subjected to experimental tests carried out in situ in two different stages. The …

An experimental and numerical research on the buckling failure of brick masonry walls is
presented. The research includes laboratory experiments on the response of a large number …

Masonry walls subjected to in-plane loading exhibit a complex behavior because of the
influence of several parameters such as axial load, aspect ratio, and the strength of …

A research project on the deformation capacity of unreinforced masonry structures is
underway at the Institute of Structural Engineering of ETH Zurich. The development of the …

This paper deals with the numerical assessment of the influence of parameters such as pre-
compression level, aspect ratio, vertical and horizontal reinforcement ratios and boundary …

This paper presents an experimental investigation conducted on masonry walls subjected to
an out-of-plane loading or normal pressure. This study has multiple objectives. It allows, first …
