Out-of-plane dynamic stability of unreinforced masonry walls connected to flexible diaphragms
The vulnerability of unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings to out-of-plane damage and collapse has been clearly demonstrated in past earthquakes. Given sufficient anchorage to the diaphragms (a minimum-level retrofit), a URM wall subjected to out-of-plane inertial forces will likely develop a horizon...
