Literature review of the in-plane behavior of masonry walls: Theoretical vs. experimental results
T Celano, LU Argiento, F Ceroni, C Casapulla - Materials, 2021 - mdpi.com
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 …
