Masonry shear walls with flanges: Behaviour under combined loadings.

Concering the load bearing capacity and the stiffness characteristics of shear walls with flanges, a significant better behaviour under combined shear loadings, compared to walls with rectangular shape, can be found. Within a research project, several tests on full-scale walls with T-shaped ground plan view and different execution detaillings (e. g. connection between shear wall and intersecting wall with shear ties or interlocking) under combined N-M-V loadings (static-cyclic and pseudo-dynamic) have been performed. In the following some results of the tests and numerical investigations are presented.
