The relationships between the perforated masonry walls and the equivalent frames that simulate them are examined. T h e method is proven accurate for different wall shapes by comparing the results with those obtained from finite element analyses. T h e advantages of the method over the finite element method are discussed.vi, 34 pageselectronicen-CAhttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_16ecsenior reportDawe, JohnL., DaweCivil Engineering
