This mode of failure was previously observed in experimental studies of rectangular walls, and has attracted more attention following the observed damage of several walls in the recent earthquakes in Chile and Christchurch. In this study, out-of-plane instability of slender rectangular walls subject to in-plane loading is investigated by testing three rectangular wall specimens subject to cyclic quasi-static loading. The specimens were half-scale, representing the first story of four story prototype walls designed according to NZS3101:2006, with different thicknesses and lengths to investigate the effects of these parameters on the onset and extent of out-of-plane displacement. The experimental results are herein presented with focus on the significant stages of wall response observed during the test and the effects of the above-mentioned parameters on the sequence of these stages.
