Experimental seismic behaviour of wall-to-half-timbered wall connections

The out-of-plane failure mechanisms due to seismic action observed in masonry walls of historical buildings are, in many cases, a direct result of poor connections between structural elements, which are incapable of assuring proper load transmission. Therefore, the need to prevent its occurrence rai...
