Definition of interaction curves for the in-plane and out-of-plane capacity in brick masonry walls

During an earthquake a wall is subjected to a three dimensional acceleration field and undergoes simultaneous in-plane and out-of-plane loading. The action of one type of loading on the wall affects the strength of the wall against another type of loading. In this paper, a numerical investigation, s...
