Displacement Analysis on Unreinforced Masonry walls due to Lateral Pushover in the Plane Loading

Push-over on wall, a ubiquitous phenomenon observed in various aspects of daily life, has long been a topic of interest among Civil Engineers. Push-over analysis has emerged as a widely accepted method for assessing the seismic vulnerability of unreinforced masonry (URM) walls. Its analysis is a nonlinear static analysis technique commonly employed to evaluate the performance and seismic capacity of unreinforced masonry (URM). Despite its seemingly simple nature, the underlying mechanics of push-over on wall remain poorly understood. This study includes a review of current literature, an outline of the experimental methods, the relationships between force and structural integrity and a discussion on of the results obtained through experimentation. For this purpose, a masonry wall has been implemented under cyclic loading this aspect, shedding light on the intricate relationships between force and structural integrity. To achieve this, a masonry wall is subjected to repetitive loads that move back and forth along its upper right side. Using a FEMA protocol, the successive forces produce diagonal cracks along the entire wall, which is contained within a 1.2 m long by 1.5 m high steel frame with pinned supports as boundary conditions.
