The paper summarizes the results of numerical analyses performed in order to model the performance of slender reinforced walls, adopted in practical applications as a solution when the appearance of a concrete wall is not accepted and should therefore be masked. The geometry and slenderness of this kind of reinforced structure have been considered as pre-eminent factors. Limit equilibrium analyses as well as finite element analyses have been carried out in order to explore stability and deformation issues that have to be considered for the design of the masking reinforced wall.

Abstract
The paper summarizes the results of numerical analyses performed in order to model the performance of slender reinforced walls, adopted in practical applications as a solution when the appearance of a concrete wall is not accepted and should therefore be masked. The geometry and slenderness of this kind of reinforced structure have been considered as pre-eminent factors. Limit equilibrium analyses as well as finite element analyses have been carried out in order to explore stability and deformation issues that have to be considered for the design of the masking reinforced wall.
