Out-of-Plane Strength of Masonry Panels by Suhail Ahmad Ahanger is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Nine large concrete masonry infilled panels were tested to investigate their out-of-plane behavior. The tests showed linear elastic behavior before cracking, followed by nonlinear behavior due to cracking and arching of the infill. Parameters like boundary supports, joint reinforcement, panel thickness, and openings were examined. Computer models were developed to predict first cracking and ultimate loads by analyzing bending and a modified yield-line technique accounting for arching. The models matched tes
