An extensive experimental research aimed at defining the mechanical behaviour, under in-plane actions, of perforated clay unit load bearing masonry walls, built with different typologies of head and bed joints, has been recently carried out at the University of Padua. Based on the experimental results, a numerical research aimed at investigating the behaviour of the three tested masonry typologies and the reliability of four different modelling strategies to simulate the types of tests, was carried out. In the present contribution, the results of the finite element analyses are discussed.

Abstract
An extensive experimental research aimed at defining the mechanical behaviour, under in-plane actions, of perforated clay unit load bearing masonry walls, built with different typologies of head and bed joints, has been recently carried out at the University of Padua. Based on the experimental results, a numerical research aimed at investigating the behaviour of the three tested masonry typologies and the reliability of four different modelling strategies to simulate the types of tests, was carried out. In the present contribution, the results of the finite element analyses are discussed.
