Current experimental and numerical issues in masonry research

The paper addresses the possibilities and research needs with respect to advanced testing and numerical analysis of masonry structures, with a focus in cyclic behaviour. A complete masonry characterization is sought, in terms of modern deformation controlled test set-ups, which is a key aspect for modern, non-linear, computer simulations. In addition, the aspects related to masonry innovation and to construction needs are also addressed.
