A knowledge based system to predict the lateral failure pressure of masonry panels under biaxial bending

The thesis mainly deals with predicting the lateral failure pressure of masonry panels which carry little or no axial loading. This type of isotropic and orthotropic panels can be found as cladding for framed construction or upper floors of multi-storey load bearing structures. The failure criterion...
