Abstract (EN): During the last years, it has been observed that the contribution of the masonry infill walls should be considered in the structural response of the existing buildings Typically infill masonry walls are considered non-structural elements; however when subjected to earthquakes, they tend to interact with the surrounding RC frames which can result in different failure modes, with in-plane failure and the out-of-plan collapse. An experimental campaign of full scale masonry infill walls was performed in order to better understand and characterize the out-of-plane behaviour of infilled masonry panels, in particular with and without in-plane damage. Three experimental tests were made, two out-of-plane tests (monotonic and cyclic) in original infill masonry panels and another out-of-plane test in a third infill panel damaged during a previous in-plane test. In the paper, the results of the experimental tests are presented and discussed in terms of hysteretic force-displacement curves, damage evolution, stiffness degradation, infill panels' capacity and energy dissipation.
