Review of Out-of-Plane Strengthening Techniques of Unreinforced Masonry Walls
When a seismic load is applied horizontally or laterally on unreinforced masonry walls (URM), the walls behave in two different ways, viz., in-plane (IP) and out-of-plane (OoP).

Analysis of confined masonry with Strut and Tie models [PDF]
Strut & Tie (S-T) models are used quite commonly for the analysis of reinforced concrete structures and in the calculation of masonry structures. Creating the S-T model of the confined masonry is slightly different from models of reinforced concrete or ...

Reinforced masonry shear walls
Nine 2.4 m high by 1.6 m long reinforced masonry walls (140 mm) were cycled under reverse curvature loading. The walls were designed to investigate the effect of vertical preload and the effectiveness of repair by epoxy grout injection together with certain matters raised by the Draft Code for Design of Reinforced Masonry, in particular effect of ...

Blast response of clay brick masonry unit walls unreinforced and reinforced with polyurea elastomer
Clay brick masonry unit (CBMU) walls are widely used in building structures, and its damage and protection under explosion loads have been a matter of concern in the field of engineering protection.

Seismic analysis of reinforced concrete buildings with participating masonry infills
In this paper, seismic analyses are performed of a reinforced concrete frame building with participating masonry walls are carried out. The spectral method of the Brazilian code – ABNT 15421:2006 – was used to obtain the lateral seismic loads.

Strengthening of masonry walls with FRP or TRM
In addition to traditional methods of strengthening shear masonry walls, some newer materials and systems, such as fibre reinforced polymers (FRP) and textile reinforced mortars (TRM), have recently been introduced. The earthquake that occurred in Zagreb

Anisotropy Effect of Masonry on the Behaviour and Bearing Capacity of Masonry Walls
Firstly, an updated numerical model for the numerical analysis of planar unreinforced and confined masonry walls is presented. The model can simulate the main nonlinear material effects of masonry and reinforced concrete.
