The significant findings from this research include the following: The hysteretic response of the masonry panel exhibited approximately symmetric loops in push-and-pull load cycles with an increasing trend of lateral strength except in the last push load, in which the load carrying capacity reached maximum value of 114.3 kN and then decreased to 109.1 kN, corresponding to 1.73% and 2.02% drift index, respectively.
