Modelling the out of plane seismic behaviour of masonry walls by rigid elements.

A computational model for evaluating the dynamical response and the damage of large masonry walls subjected to out of plane seismic actions is presented. During earthquakes, these actions are often the main cause of damage for the front wall and lateral walls of old masonry built churches and monume...
