Experimental evaluation of out-of-plane capacity of masonry infill walls

Infill masonry (IM) walls are considered to be non-structural elements but, when subjected to earthquakes, they tend to interact with the surrounding RC (reinforced concrete) frames, which can result in different failure modes depending on the combination of the in-plane and out-of-plane behaviour....
