Reinforced Concrete-Gap-Element against earthquake - experimental and numerical study

In this article it will be shown how masonry walls with arranged notched reinforced concrete beams behave as a typical bearing wall in a masonry building. A special pseudo-dynamic algorithm was developed in order to simulate the boundary conditions of the masonry wall in a building and during an earthquake closely to reality.
