Study of the behaviour of reinforced masonry wallets subjected to diagonal compression through numerical modelling

Shear walls are subjected to flexure and shear efforts in conjunction with compressive stresses associated to the gravity loads. In shear mode, diagonal cracks develop at the unit-mortar interface or both at the unit-mortar interface and through units as result of a biaxial tension-compression stres...
