Empirical Coastal Atmospheric Corrosion of Masonry Metal Wall Ties
Corrosion and Materials Degradation, 2021 Not counting domestic dwellings, it has been estimated that in Australia alone, some tens of thousands of masonry buildings and structures have exceeded their design life, with many of these being at risk of partial (or worse) collapse from falling or ...

Experimental evaluation of shear and compression strength of masonry wall before and after reinforcement: Deep repointing [PDF]
, 2007 Masonry presents some inadequacies due to its almost total lack of tensile strength. Typical damage to multiple leaf walls during earthquakes is the loss of bond between the leaves with consequent collapse of the external leaf.
