Abstract
AbstractA non‐linear finite element model for plain masonry structures under lateral static loads and seismic base inputs is presented. Three super‐imposed elasto‐plastic shear elements are used in order to approximate the typical force‐displacement curve for masonry. Material properties are identified with respect to results of shear tests on single piers. Modelling of entire structures is then performed and the numerical results are satisfactorily checked against the experimental outputs of static and shaking table tests of simple 1 and 2 storey buildings. The out of plane behaviour of walls is accounted for by means of a simplified method.
