Unreinforced Masonry Buildings
Unreinforced masonry is one of the earliest materials used in the construction of buildings. Many such buildings were therefore constructed prior to the introduction of seismic design requirements and tend to be highly vulnerable. Their age also means that unreinforced masonry construction often comprises some of our most important buildings from a ...Matthew Fox, Weng Yuen Kam, Damian Grant

Bidirectional behavior of unreinforced masonry walls
Earthquake Engineering & Structural Dynamics, 2014SUMMARYMost of the studies related to the modeling of masonry structures have by far investigated either the in‐plane (IP) or the out‐of‐plane (OP) behavior of walls. However, seismic loads mostly impose simultaneous IP and OP demands on load‐bearing or shear masonry walls.

Failure of Unreinforced Masonry Under Compression
Structures Congress 2013, 2013The contribution presents novel observations on unreinforced masonry made of solid clay brick units and surrounding mortar joints. Focus is the brittle-ductile interaction of the two constituents in form of the so-called masonry prism test under axial compression.

Repair and Retrofit of Unreinforced Masonry Structures
Earthquake Spectra, 1996A comprehensive study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of different repair and retrofit techniques for unreinforced masonry (URM) structures. The study was to identify suitable grouting materials and procedures for the repair and retrofit of URM structures, quantify the efficacy of different repair and retrofit techniques, and develop analysis ...

Seismic Rehabilitation of Unreinforced Masonry Walls
SP-188: 4th Intl Symposium - Fiber Reinforced Polymer Reinforcement for Reinforced Concrete Structures, 1999The U.S. Army Construction Engineering Research Laboratory, in partnership with the Composite Institute of the Society of Plastics Industry, Inc. and in support of the Army's facility seismic rehabilitation efforts, is investigating the applicability of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composite materials systems to strengthen unreinforced masonry (URM ...

Seismic Assessment of Unreinforced Masonry Walls
2007This thesis focuses on the seismic performance of unreinforced masonry wall perforated with a door opening representing typical URM walls of many aged masonry buildings in Indonesia. To obtain a test result that will be able to represent the local conditions, the experiments have been conducted in the Research Institute for Human Settlements (RIHS ...

Design Analysis of Unreinforced Masonry Structures
1998Three analytical problems arise in the design of masonry structures, which relate to (1) the distribution of vertical loads among the various walls in the building, (2) the determination of eccentricity of loading on walls, and (3) the distribution of lateral loads on the walls.

ANALYTICAL INVESTIGATION OF CFRP STRENGTHENED UNREINFORCED MASONRY WALLS
2023Mason structures represent cultural heritage of great historical importance all over the world. These structures have been designed with little or no regard for the effects of lateral loadings such as earthquakes, so they need to be strengthened using appropriate and effective strengthening techniques.
