Quasi-static cyclic tests on masonry components, such as walls, can capture the behaviour of vulnerable elements and thus serve as benchmarks for the validation of analysis methods. They allow studying the response of the element in terms of load and deformation capacity, failure mechanism and hysteresis behaviour. In-plane and out-of-plane tests are generally performed in this category

In this report the tests results related to the quasi-static cyclic in-plane tests on large-scale walls are presented. Section 2 shows the nomenclature adopted in this report. Section 3 reports a description of the in-plane tests performed in WP3. Section 4 gives an overview of the material properties determined via companion destructive tests. Section 5 presents the testing procedure for the in-plane shear-compression tests on large-scale walls. Section 6 shows the experimental results in terms of hysteresis behaviour, force and displacement capacity, crack pattern evolution and dissipated energy. Section 7 reports an overview of the results and compares the performances of the various walls adopting the bilinear curve
