Seismic performance of mortarless reinforced masonry walls
, 2020Reinforced masonry walls are commonly used as a primary lateral load resisting system in buildings in regions of moderate or high seismicity. Mortarless reinforced masonry (MLRM) walls are constructed using concrete masonry units placed without mortar ...

On the out-of-plane flexural design of reinforced masonry walls
, 2020Out-of-plane flexural capacity of masonry is enhanced due to the presence of vertical compression up to a certain level. Most international design standards include the vertical load contribution to the flexural capacity of unreinforced masonry walls ...

Failure analysis of masonry walls subjected to low velocity impacts
, 2020Masonry buildings constructed along busy roads are vulnerable to vehicular impacts. As most of these impacts are likely to occur at low velocity due to severe braking by drivers to avoid catastrophe, the present study reports a failure analysis of ...

Structural behaviour and design rules of confined masonry walls: Review and proposals
Construction and Building Materials, 2019Confined masonry (CM) has been adopted as a cost-effective and earthquake-resistant solution for buildings, mostly in developing countries. CM has large potential for use in Europe, but suitable rules for its application are not available in the European

Structural steel beams and columns are often used to support masonry walls subjected to transverse and axial loads. Warehouse and gymnasium type buildings often have large floor-to-ceiling heights, such that allowable masonry wall heights are exceeded.

Experimental and numerical evaluation of reinforced dry-stacked concrete masonry walls
Journal of Building Engineering, 2019In dry-stack concrete masonry systems, masonry units are laid without mortar joints, reducing the cost and the time required for construction. Despite these advantages, mortarless construction has not been widely implemented, which is attributed to the ...
