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 ...

Seismic vulnerability of existing masonry buildings: Nonlinear parametric analysis [PDF]
, 2015 Existing masonry structures are usually associated to a high seismic vulnerability, mainly due to the properties of the materials, weak connections between floors and load-bearing walls, high mass of the masonry walls and flexibility of the floors.

Unreinforced and confined masonry buildings in seismic regions : validation of macro-element models and cost analysis [PDF]
, 2014 Modern design of buildings requires accounting for sustainability aspects using a life-cycle perspective, but also the early design phase where earthquake actions have a significant influence concerning the structural design.

Numerical model to account for the influence of infill masonry on the RC structures behaviour [PDF]
, 2005 It is a common misconception considers that masonry infill walls in structural RC buildings can only increase the overall lateral load capacity, and, therefore, must always be considered beneficial to seismic performance.
