In this paper, a simple and practitioners-friendly calibration strategy to consistently link target panel-scale mechanical properties (that can be found in national standards) to model material-scale mechanical properties is presented. Simple masonry panel geometries, with various boundary conditions, are utilized to test numerical models and calibrate their mechanical properties. The calibration is successfully conducted through five different numerical models (most of them available in commercial software packages) suitable for nonlinear modelling of masonry structures, using nonlinear static analyses. Firstly, the panel stiffness calibration is performed, focusing the attention to the shear stiffness. Secondly, the panel strength calibration is conducted for several axial load ratios by attempts using as reference the target panel strength deduced by well-known analytical strength criteria. The results in terms of panel strength for the five different models show that this calibration strategy appears effective in obtaining model properties coherent with Italian National Standard and Eurocode. Open issues remain for the calibration of the post-peak response of masonry panels, which still appears highly conventional in the standards.

在本文中，提出了一种简单且从业人员友好的校准策略，以始终将目标面板尺寸的机械性能（可以在国家标准中找到）链接到材料尺寸的机械性能模型。具有各种边界条件的简单砌体面板几何形状可用于测试数值模型并校准其机械性能。使用非线性静态分析，通过适用于砌体结构非线性建模的五个不同数值模型（大多数可在商业软件包中获得）成功进行了校准。首先，进行面板刚度校准，将注意力集中在剪切刚度上。第二，通过尝试使用由众所周知的分析强度标准推论得出的目标面板强度作为参考，对几种轴向负载率进行面板强度校准。五个不同模型在面板强度方面的结果表明，这种校准策略在获得与意大利国家标准和欧洲法规一致的模型属性方面似乎是有效的。校准砌体墙板的峰后响应仍然存在未解决的问题，这在标准中仍然很常规。
