Summary/Abstract: The article examines the behavior of masonry walls made up of ceramic blocks wit vertical gaps under seismic actions. Unreinforced and reinforced masonry are compared with respect to their behavior under cyclic horizontal tests. 9 tests were carried vor constant vertical loading and cyclic horizontal loading. The results allow for understanding the importance of reinforced masonry in seismic areas. Numerical simulations, using the same types of walls, were compared to the experimental results.
