Masonry vaults subjected to horizontal loads: Experimental and numerical investigations to evaluate the effectiveness of a GFRM reinforcement [PDF]
, 2017 The paper investigates the effectiveness of a modern reinforcement technique based on a Glass Fiber-Reinforced Mortar (GFRM) for the enhancement of the performances of existing masonry vaults subjected to horizontal seismic actions.

Seismic behaviour of unreinforced masonry walls
Bulletin of the New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 1986 The ' behaviour of unreinforced masonry walls under seismic loading is considered, with particular emphasis being given to face-load response. It is shown that traditional methods of assessing seismic performance based on elastic stress calculations result in excessively conservative results when compared with more realistic methods of assessment.

Composition study of a mortar appropriate for masonry cavities and joints [PDF]
, 2007 It is well known that unreinforced masonry behaves as a quasi-brittle material when subjected to seismic loading. The construction in unreinforced masonry is usually not allowed in regions with moderate to high seismic hazard.

Semi Interlocking Masonry as Infill Wall System for Earthquake Resistant Buildings: A Review
The Journal of Engineering Research, 2016 Masonry is one of the most popular building materials. It has many excellent material properties and proven durability. Over time, masonry structures have evolved from massive walls, which work mainly through compression, to more slender walls, which ...

An experimental investigation of retro-reinforced clay brick arches
, 2010 This paper describes the laboratory testing of eight 2.95m span segmental profile clay brick arches. Seven of the arches were strengthened with longitudinal intrados (soffit) reinforcement; the eighth was left unreinforced as an experimental control ...
