This article presents results obtained form a research program, about the properties and possible uses of masonry structures in Spain, developed in the Structural Design and Construction Department of Cantabria University, and consists of a comparison of results obtained using the Spanish (NBE-FL-90 and PIET-70), European (Eurocode EC6) and British (BS-5628) standards. In the article the analysis (with the three considered standards) of load bearing walls in a simplified structural model is presented. Comparing the maximum number of levels that can be achieved with each standard (under the same conditions), it shows that remarkable differences exist in the results. The relationship between the maximum height of the shear walls, their length and the magnitude of the applied horizontal load, is also analyzed.
