Capacity interaction in brick masonry under simultaneous in-plane and out-of-plane loads [PDF]
, 2013 A considerable number of numerical and experimental studies, carried out to-date to investigate the behaviour of masonry walls under seismic loading, have considered the in-plane or the out-of-plane response of the wall separately without due ...

Poisson behaviour of bedding mortar under multiaxial stress state [PDF]
, 2006 The main goal of this work is to understand the tri-axial compression capacity of joint mortar through the Poisson behaviour. The conclusions drawn from the present study are the following: the behaviour of stress-strain diagram is strongly non-linear ...

Experimental and analytical investigation of the lateral load response of confined masonry walls
HBRC Journal, 2016 This paper investigates the behavior of confined masonry walls subjected to lateral loads. Six full-scale wall assembles, consisting of a clay masonry panel, two confining columns and a tie beam, were tested under a combination of vertical load and ...
