Abstract: To characterise the flexural load bearing behaviour of masonry, a numerical model was developed and calibrated on wall tests. Extensive parameter studies were performed varying the previously determined material laws of the masonry units and the geometric properties (overlap, masonry thickness). On the basis of the numerical results, a calculation equation could be derived. The failure mechanisms could be comprehended by means of the stress distributions in the wall section.
