Numerical Simulation of the Tension–Compression Behavior of Tie Connections in Brick Masonry Walls

Brick masonry veneer walls connected to infill walls inserted in a reinforced concrete (RC) frame are a common constructive system in Portugal. The stability of the veneer wall is ensured by ties that make the connection with the masonry infill walls. These ties enable the transferring of out-of-pla...
