Abstract :Masonry structures are commonly used in many countries . Load bearing masonry walls are the most important structural element in the masonry structures . In this study , a computer program was written in MATLAB for linear elastic analyses of masonry walls . In addition , a mesh program which meshes the wall as two dimensional model was written in MATLAB. These models were constituted with macro modelling approach . Three different load cases were applied to two dimensional masonry model with opening . The obtained results from the linear elastic analysis were compared with ANSYS software results .Keywords : Masonry walls, Linear elastic behaviour, Finite element method
