Abstract

AbstractDue to the low tensile strength of masonry perpendicular to the bed joint, masonry wall panels have non‐linear material properties. Assuming simple elastic constitutive laws, this article presents two modelling variants, which consider the lack of tensile strength in a simple manner. Both variants are investigated for their advantages and disadvantages. In a second part of the article, the application of the methods will be illustrated through the example of a four‐storey building.
