In the paper, the results of some experimental researches on reinforced masonry and unreinforced thin joints masonry, carried out at the University of Padua, are presented. The seismic behaviour of reinforced masonry panels, built according to recent technologies, was investigated by means of cyclic tests. The study was aimed to calibrate theoretical models for the evaluation of shear strength and hysteretic energy dissipation capacity of r. m. structures under seismic action. The mechanical properties of thin joint masonry were evaluated by comparison to those of ordinary masonry. The main aim was to describe the behaviour of this innovative masonry, executed with different methods, for a first characterization of the construction system and an assessment of the design formulas given by the codes.

Abstract
In the paper, the results of some experimental researches on reinforced masonry and unreinforced thin joints masonry, carried out at the University of Padua, are presented. The seismic behaviour of reinforced masonry panels, built according to recent technologies, was investigated by means of cyclic tests. The study was aimed to calibrate theoretical models for the evaluation of shear strength and hysteretic energy dissipation capacity of r. m. structures under seismic action. The mechanical properties of thin joint masonry were evaluated by comparison to those of ordinary masonry. The main aim was to describe the behaviour of this innovative masonry, executed with different methods, for a first characterization of the construction system and an assessment of the design formulas given by the codes.
