Assessment of Selected Models for FRP-Retrofitted URM Walls under In-Plane Loads

Buildings, 2021
One way to improve a structure’s total load-bearing capacity during an earthquake is to apply fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP) to unreinforced walls. The study discusses the use of FRP to strengthen unreinforced masonry (URM) structures.

Prevalence of New Zealand’s unreinforced masonry buildings

Bulletin of the New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 2010
Unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings remain New Zealand's most earthquake prone class of building. New Zealand URM buildings are classified into typologies, based on their general structural configuration. Seven typologies are presented, and their relative prevalence, age and locations are identified.

Finite element nonlinear analysis of high-rise unreinforced masonry building

Latin American Journal of Solids and Structures
A simple efficient algorithm based on compressive diagonal strength of unreinforced masonry walls is presented to determine capacity curve of unreinforced masonry building. The compressive strength is calculated based on a new close form solution.

Effect of Lintel Beam on Seismic Response of Reinforced Concrete Buildings with Semi-Interlocked and Unreinforced Brick Masonry Infills

Infrastructures, 2021
The primary focus of this study is to evaluate the nonlinear response of reinforced concrete (RC) frames with two types of brick infills viz., unreinforced brick masonry infill (URM) and semi-interlocked brick masonry infill (SIM) together with lintel ...

Reliability Verification of Unreinforced Masonry Wall

Modern Applied Science, 2016
Unreinforced masonry (URM) is known as sustainable building material and is on the top of worldwide building materials consumed in residential buildings. The reliability level of a designed URM shear walls (URMW) has major influence on safety and cost of masonry constructions.

Damage Identification of Unreinforced Masonry Panels Using Vibration-Based Techniques

Shock and Vibration, 2017
Several damage indicators based on changes in modal properties validated for homogeneous materials were applied to detect damage in an unreinforced masonry cantilever panel. Damage was created by a “clean diagonal cut” at the center of the specimen which

Evaluations of the effectiveness of the near‐surface mounted steel materials in strengthening short RC wall‐like columns with openings

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract In practice, reinforced concrete (RC) wall‐like columns often have openings to facilitate building services, which creates stress concentrations around the opening, resulting in the weakening of their load‐carrying capacity. This study proposes innovative strengthening methods using near‐surface mounted (NSM) incorporating steel materials to ...

Investigation of the bed joint reinforcement effect on the drift capacity of modern unreinforced masonry walls [PDF]

MATEC Web of Conferences
Bed joint reinforcement significantly affects the shear capacity of masonry walls due to its effective ability to transfer shear forces through a diagonal crack, but how does this phenomenon impact its drift capacity?

Adriseismic Methodology for Expeditious Seismic Assessment of Unreinforced Masonry Buildings

Buildings, 2023
The paper describes a novel Adriseismic method for expeditious assessment of seismic risk associated with unreinforced masonry buildings. The methodology was developed for the Adriseismic project of the Interreg ADRION programme, with the aim to develop ...
