Historical unreinforced masonry (URM) constructions are generally vulnerable to out-of-plane (OOP) failures due to the absence of rigid floors and poor connections between orthogonal walls. That leads to the activation of rocking mechanisms of extern... Read More about Discrete macro - models of nonlinear interlocking mechanisms in the out-of-plane failure of masonry walls.
