Masonry panels with external thermal insulation subjected to in-plane diagonal compression

Partial collapse of masonry facades during past strong earthquakes is well documented together with the increased vulnerability due to the presence of thermo-insulation within double wythe masonry. The combined seismic and energy retrofit of existing aged buildings represents a topic of importance f...
