Literature Review of the In-Plane Behavior of Masonry Walls: Theoretical vs. Experimental Results
Materials, 2021 In-plane strength of masonry walls is affected by the resistant mechanisms activated in the walls, i.e., related to flexural or shear behavior. The latter one can occur in the walls according to different failure modes depending on both mortar and unit ...
