In this paper, the out-of-plane response of infill walls is investigated by means of non-linear monotonic (push-over) analyses through a combined finite and discrete modelling approach. The model accounts for material deformability, crack formation, sliding, separation and formation of new contacts. Masonry units are modelled as finite elements, and different material models are assumed for the masonry. Contact between masonry units, and between masonry and frame elements is modelled by means of interfaces, which permit tangential motion with frictional sliding. Frame elements are modelled by means of a linearelastic material. The results of the numerical analyses are compared with those of experimental tests available in the literature. The advantages and disadvantages of the adopted modelling strategy are investigated.
