About this document

Lateral Load Behavior of Masonry Panels by Ekala Xuhalx is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This thesis examines the behavior of masonry panels subjected to lateral loads when openings are present. An extensive literature review revealed limitations in current design methods. A nonlinear finite element analysis was developed and validated against previous experimental results. Eighteen full-scale masonry panels were then experimentally tested under lateral loads. Material properties were determined through statistical analysis of wailette tests. Good correlation between experimental results, finit
