Energy dissipation index for masonry walls with wallposts under vertical seismic effects

An energy dissipation index (EDI = Etot/(Puδu)) is proposed as an independent, dimensionless performance metric derived from a pool of 275 simulated out-of-plane (OoP) pressure–displacement (P–δ) curves obtained from pre-validated three-dimensional finite-element (FE) simulations...
