Brick and Block Masonry - Trends, Innovations and Challenges contains the lectures and regular papers presented at the 16th International Brick and Block Masonry Conference (Padova, Italy, 26-30 June 2016). The contributions cover major topics: - Analysis of masonry structures - Bond of composites to masonry - Building physics and durability - Case studies - Codes and standards - Conservation of historic buildings - Earthen constructions - Eco-materials and sustainability - Fire resistance, blasts, and impacts - Masonry bridges, arches and vaults - Masonry infill walls and RC frames - Masonry materials and testing - Masonry repair and strengthening - New construction techniques and technologies - Reinforced and confined masonry - Seismic performance and vulnerability assessment In an ever-changing world, in which innovations are rapidly implemented but soon surpassed, the challenge for masonry, the oldest and most traditional building material, is that it can address the increasingly pressing requirements of quality of living, safety, and sustainability. This abstracts volume and full paper USB device, focusing on challenges, innovations, trends and ideas related to masonry, in both research and building practice, will proof to be a valuable source of information for researchers and practitioners, masonry industries and building management authorities, construction professionals and educators.

Out-of-plane stability of unreinforced masonry walls is an important aspect to be taken into account in edification. This construction technique is widely used and it is one of the most vulnerable to seismic loading. It has been observed that damage produced by out-of-plane loadings is one of the most commonly produced failure mechanisms in seismic hazards. Despite of that, research into the out-of-plane stability of masonry walls is not yet enough developed. The aim of this research is to create a three-dimensional finite element model in order to study the latter problem. A parametrical study is performed on two numerical models under monotonic and cyclic out-of-plane loads. The influence of various geometrical and boundary conditions are studied in two different models of a single wall: a homogenized and a distinct model. A damage plasticity formulation, appropriate for brittle materials, is implemented for modeling the behavior of the wall. In the distinct model, frictional and cohesive interaction models are used for modeling the joints, which are constituted by mortar. Firstly a monotonic homogeneous distributed out-of-plane pressure is applied, in order to determine both, the resistance of the wall in terms of its force-displacement curve, and the failure mechanism. Next, the same model is submitted to cyclic out-of-plane uniform pressure and energy dissipation, as well as stiffness degradation is analyzed. Finally, some qualitative recommendations for the unreinforced masonry walls are derived from the results, with the purpose of maximizing the resistance in front of out-of-plane loading.
