The results of tests of plain and confined masonry walls with h/l ratio equal to 1•5, made at 1 : 5 scale, have been used to develop a rational method for modelling the seismic behaviour of confined masonry walls. A trilinear model of lateral resistance-displacement envelope curve has been proposed,
The paper addresses the problems of evaluation of strength, deformability, and energy dissipation capacity of unreinforced brick masonry walls, within the context of seismic assessment of existing buildings. Possible approaches to simplified strength evaluation are discussed on the basis of experime
