Full-scale single-room masonry buildings of different typology, ie, unreinforced (URM),
reinforced (RM) and Confined Masonry (CM) were tested under cyclic loading in quasi-static …

This paper addresses the behavior of confined masonry walls with dominating shear failure
mode in walls. For this purpose, failure modes of these walls are classified in details. For …

Most of the studies related to the modeling of masonry structures have by far investigated
either the in‐plane (IP) or the out‐of‐plane (OP) behavior of walls. However, seismic loads …

This paper deals with the seismic performance of a confined masonry (CM) building using
innovative light weight cellular (LWC) panels, under displacement controlled quasi-static …

Current research work presents the seismic response of brick masonry houses retrofitted by
different composite materials under dynamic shake table tests. Tests were performed on 1: 4 …

The current study is devised to evaluate the seismic performance of fiber-reinforced polymer
(FRP) retrofitted buildings with openings at different FRP reinforcement levels. Required …

Nowadays there is still a lack of requirements for the out-of-plane design of confined
masonry walls. Current code requirements are mainly based on the in-plane behavior of …

Taking the typical brick–wood structure houses in northern China as the research object, two
1/2‐scale brick–wood structure house models with the same size and layout were tested …

An experimental study on the out-of-plane behavior of confined masonry walls is presented.
Four confined walls with aspect ratios greater than one were tested in the laboratory. Walls …

Masonry constructions are the pervasive building stock in India. However, such
constructions suffer widespread damage even at moderate ground shaking due to non …
