Abstract

The paper presents a numerical and an experimental analysis of the in-plane shear behaviour of hollow brick masonry panels. The non-linear behaviour of masonry is modeled considering elastic-perfectly plastic behaviour of the mortar joint. Experimental methodology consists in the diagonal compression of considered masonry walls. Numerical and experimental results are compared and discussed. The efficiency of modelling to forecast a representative failure mode of the masonry is investigated.
