Proposal of a design model for masonry walls subjected to in-plane loading

Masonry walls subjected to in-plane loading exhibit a complex behavior because of the influence of several parameters such as axial load, aspect ratio, and the strength of materials. In high-rise buildings or seismic areas, large tensile stresses may arise in these walls, and vertical and horizontal...
