AB  - The importance of size effect for the design of structures made of quasi- brittle materials is a well debated but discussions of size effect masonry structures received very little attention in the literature. results of the dependence of failure load in the structural size are presented, for three different structures with different failure mechanisms. For the given structures, it is shown that collapse dominated by a tensile mechanism shows siz~ effect and collapse dominated by a slide (shear) mechanism does not show size effect. For failure dominated by a compressive mechanism, further investigations are necPssary.
