Bracing systems in masonry buildings / Aussteifungssysteme im Mauerwerksbau - Part 2: Structural analysis methods in comparison / Teil 2: Berechnungsmodelle im Vergleich

In this article, an FE analysis model suitable in engineering practice for masonry bracing walls acting as deep beams without tensile strength is compared with simple models based on trusses. The results of both processes are compared through the example of a four-storey building of Poroton masonry.
