Abstract:In unreinforced masonry structures, among the most dangerous events that can occur during earthquakes are the out-of-plane mechanisms. This type of response significantly changes if the wall is restrained by a horizontal element. The collapse, in this case, could take place for slipping/failure of the diaphragm connection or for overturning of the wall, following the formation of a crack at an intermediate height between the base and the top. A specific analytical model is used to capture the complex dynamic b… Show more
