Structural masonry stands out in building projects as an efficient and versatile solution due to its function not only in sealing environments, but also in supporting and resisting different types of loads, in addition to presenting fast construction. The stiffness of masonry plays a crucial role in the global behavior of the structure, as it contributes to the safety and resistance of the set, thus obtaining a more robust and resilient system. Thus, this work aims to study analytically and computationally beams on masonry using elastic supports in the calculation of bond beams used in structural masonry. In the end, the analysis highlighted the influence of masonry stiffness on the elastic line and the distribution of sectional forces in the beam. Comparison with the numerical model in the Ftool software validated the analytical results and provided a detailed visualization of the beams behavior and the masonry that supports it. In this context, the study in question constitutes an excellent application of concepts with an interesting use to the technical community and the computational modeling proved essential to deepen the structural analysis in question.
