The out-of-plane vulnerability of masonry walls plays a crucial role in the seismic response of existing structures. Depending upon mechanical properties and section morphology, collapse may occur by the onset of a mechanism or, as historic constructions often exhibit, leaf separation, disaggregation or sliding. In these latter cases, structural analyses based on rigid-body mechanics, may overestimate the seismic capacity. The distinct element method (DEM), which represents masonry as an assembly of discrete blocks and nonlinear interfaces, could instead be used. Nevertheless, it is more complex and requires more input parameters, so it is still barely applied in engineering practice. In this paper, the seismic out-of-plane response of maso...
