Study of the behaviour of reinforced masonry wallets subjected to diagonal compression through numerical modelling [PDF]

, 2014
Shear walls are subjected to flexure and shear efforts in conjunction with compressive stresses associated to the gravity loads. In shear mode, diagonal cracks develop at the unit-mortar interface or both at the unit-mortar interface and through units as
