This lecture discusses the motivation behind nonlinear modelling of masonry buildings due to seismic risk, the sources of nonlinearity at structural and material levels, and various modelling approaches like detailed micro-models and simplified micro-models. The instructor focuses on the equivalent frame model commonly used in engineering practice, detailing its applications through case studies and challenges involved in blind prediction competitions.
