Composite Materials Reinforcement of Existing Masonry Walls
Journal of Architectural Engineering, 1996Historically, masonry buildings have been designed with little or no regard for the effects of seismic loads. Recent earthquakes in California, Japan, and other parts of the world have demonstrated that these older masonry structures are extremely susceptible to the lateral forces imposed during such an event.

Out-of-Plane Reinforcement of Masonry Walls with Steel Reinforced Grout
SP-324: Composites with Inorganic Matrix for Repair of Concrete and Masonry Structures, 2018A shake table investigation was carried out on a full-scale U-shaped masonry assemblage to study the effectiveness of Steel Reinforced Grout (SRG) for the improvement of the out-of-plane seismic capacity of masonry walls. Natural accelerograms were applied with increasing scale factor up to failure.

Strengthening masonry infill walls with reinforced plaster
Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers - Structures and Buildings, 2010One technique for strengthening masonry infill walls against seismic lateral forces permitted by the Turkish Seismic Code is to add a plaster layer with mesh reinforcement to one face of the wall. The study described in this paper was performed to test and analyse the effectiveness of this technique for lateral loads.

Fragility Analysis of Reinforced Masonry Shear Walls
Earthquake Spectra, 2012Fragility functions have been developed to evaluate the damageability of fully grouted and partially grouted reinforced masonry shear walls subjected to in‐plane seismic loading. Six damage states are considered, representing different levels of flexure, diagonal shear, and sliding shear damage. For each damage state, two classes of fragility functions

Behavior and vulnerability of reinforced masonry shear walls
2021The overarching goal of the research presented herein was to establish the key behavior mechanisms and seismic vulnerabilities of reinforced masonry (RM) shear walls. Currently, there are knowledge gaps related to partially grouted masonry shear walls, regarding their failure mechanisms, applicability of current code provisions to PG walls, and ...

Diagonal compression cyclic testing of unreinforced and reinforced masonry walls
Construction and Building Materials, 2022Steel reinforced plasters (SRP) are a traditional strengthening solution of existing masonry structures. SRPs consist of a thin layer of cementitious mortar or concrete (jacket) that incorporates a steel reinforcing mesh tied to a series of steel bent connectors embedded in the underlying masonry.

Flexural Behavior of Reinforced Masonry Shear Walls with Unbonded Reinforcement
The Masonry Society Journal, 1996The state-of-the-art analysis of concrete masonry shear walls with vertical reinforcement subjected to in-plane lateral loads is similar to that of reinforced concrete shear walls. However, in concrete masonry shear walls reinforced with ungrouted (unbonded) steel bars, the steel strains are dependent on the deformations of the entire wall and not ...

Reinforcing Masonry Walls with Composite Materials-Model
Journal of Composite Materials, 2000In this investigation, a procedure is developed for determining the effectiveness of composite materials in retrofitting masonry buildings to reduce seismic damage. The reinforcement considered is a thin layer of fiber-reinforced composite applied to the wall in a wallpaper-like fashion. Models were developed which predict the behavior of masonry walls

Flexural and Shear Response of Reinforced Masonry Walls
ACI Structural Journal, 1990The flexural and shear behavior of reinforced masonry shearwalls subject to both monotonic and cyclic lateral loads is examined. The study is based on the experimental results obtained from more than twenty 6 x 6 ft reinforced masonry wall panels tested under in-plane vertical and lateral loads. For the square wall panels studied, the shear strength is

Experimental Investigation of Masonry and Reinforced Masonry Walls Under Local Loading
2020In modern construction, the brick is quite widely used as a material for wall structures. The masonry buildings are durable and have beautiful architectural forms and high heat transfer resistance. The practice of masonry buildings construction dates has several thousand years, and some of the architectural monuments have survived to these days.
