Abstract
This thesis is a study towards in-plane behaviour of masonry shear walls modelled through a predefined crack pattern at macro level. The Semi-Lumped method, proposed by Messali (2015), is analysed in detail to confirm the consequences of the SLM assumptions. This is achieved via literature and numerical validations. The final part of the thesis contains a pilot study towards a combined procedure of the Semi-Lumped Method and the Sequentially linear analysis.
