This document proposes models for simulating the out-of-plane behavior of unreinforced masonry infills and their interaction with the in-plane behavior:
1. An empirical trilinear model is developed for the out-of-plane force-displacement behavior based on experimental data.
2. An empirical model is also developed for how the out-of-plane behavior degrades as the infill sustains increasing in-plane damage, and vice versa.
3. The models are implemented in OpenSees using parallel materials to represent the evolving out-of-plane backbone as in-plane damage increases.
The models are intended to realistically capture out-of-plane infill
