The preservation of cultural heritage has been a global concern. In the context of
vulnerability assessments and risk reduction strategies studied, historical monument …

In the Himalayan region of Nepal, stone masonry has been used for centuries as the primary
building material for structures with or without mud mortar. In three distinct remote rural …

Post the 2015 Gorkha earthquake in Nepal, various codes and guidelines were introduced
and implemented to enhance the seismic resistance of masonry structures. These provisions …

This research investigates the development of a simplified micro-modelling technique for the
nonlinear analysis of confined masonry (CM) walls. The primary objective of this research is …

Although multiple experimental investigations have been performed to characterize the
shearing behavior of confined masonry walls that are reinforced with horizontal steel bars …

An extensive parametric investigation is carried out to determine the effects of different RC
tie system and brick wall variables on the performance of confined masonry walls and …

The confined masonry (CM) structure consists of load bearing walls strengthened with
nominally reinforced concrete tie-elements at the perimeter and other key locations. Various …

Confined brick masonry structures have garnered considerable attention as an effective
solution for earthquake-prone regions due to their robust construction, efficient wall-to …

Confined brick masonry (CBM) structures have demonstrated success in seismic regions
due to their straightforward construction and efficient wall-to-column connections. However …

Confined brick masonry is an improved method of conventional unreinforced brick masonry.
It exhibits more seismic resistance in comparison to that of unreinforced brick masonry. The …
