title = "Distortions and the way of damaging masonry walls supported on deflected structural elements",
abstract = "The article presents some results of experimental tests on masonry walls in the full-scale with openings and solid walls made of silicate masonry units. The walls were subjected to simultaneous incrementing vertical compression loads and deflection of the structure which they are supported on. The work describes cracking and the mechanism of damaging the walls depending on the way of their perforation and presents the values of deflection and wall distortion angle at which the first cracks are formed and when wall failure takes place.",
