Formulating the in-plane frictional resistances and collapse mechanisms for multi-storey masonry block walls
In this paper a macro-block model accounting for frictional resistances is presented to assess the lateral strength of a multi-storey masonry block wall. The kinematic approach of limit analysis is used to define the load factor causing the onset of rocking-sliding mechanism under in-plane horizonta...
