heal.abstract	Eurocode 8 represents a new generation of structural design codes in Europe and defines requirements for the design of buildings against earthquake action. In Central and Western Europe, the new earthquake zones in connection with the corresponding design ground acceleration values will show in many cases earthquake actions which are remarkably higher than defined by the design codes used in Central Europe up to now. In many cases, the weak point of masonry structures is the corner points of walls during an earthquake. Loading of masonry walls in most cases leads to a high exploitation of the shear capacity. Since the bending moments increase with shear forces, the eccentricity of the normal force in the critical cross section becomes significant. This in turn leads to a reduction of the size of the compression zone in unreinforced walls with a high concentration of normal stresses and shear stresses. Corner-Gap-Elements, consisting of a bearing beam made of a sufficiently strong material (such as reinforced concrete), ensure a limitation of eccentricity of the normal force and thus, restrict the pinching of the compression zone. The deformation can be concentrated in the joint below the bearing beam. According to the principles of the capacity design philosophy, the masonry itself is protected from high stresses as a potential cause of brittle failure. Shaking-table tests at NTU-Athens have proven the effectiveness of the Corner-Gap- Element. The presentation covers the evaluations of experimental results with numerical calculations.
