“…In that sense, the present paper aims to takes a step toward the conversion of the modeling concept into standard and accessible computational tools, toward the generation of experimental reference results for the examination and validation of the modeling concepts, and toward gaining insight into the structural response of dynamically loaded un-strengthened and unreinforced masonry walls. It should be emphasized that opposed to [7][8][9][24][25][26][27], which applied analytical, numerical, and experimental techniques, respectively, to study masonry walls strengthened with composite materials, this paper focuses on the bare un-strengthened and unreinforced masonry wall. As such, it has to face a range of analytical, numerical, and experimental challenges that stem from the absence of any tensile resisting component or mechanism.…”
