Finite element nonlinear analysis of high-rise unreinforced masonry building
Latin American Journal of Solids and StructuresA 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.

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.

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

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

Seismic Analysis of Unreinforced Masonry Walls
IDRiM Journal, 2017 The Alpine-Himalayan belt which covers the entire Himalayan range of India is the second most active seismic belt in the world. In the Himalayan range, the Indian plate is in an on-going collision with the Eurasian plate. The consequent interlocking between the two plates causes a release of accumulated strain at several faults in this collision zone ...

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 ...

Unreinforced masonry structures
Bulletin of the New Zealand Society for Earthquake Engineering, 1996 Unreinforced masonry is widely used in Australia as an architectural and structural material. Because of its high mass, lack of ductility and low tensile strength it is unsuitable for use in areas of high seismicity. However in countries of lower seismicity such as Australia it can be used provided it is designed, detailed and constructed correctly ...

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.Abstract This study evaluates the seismic performance of elevated reinforced concrete (RC) water tanks in the Elbistan region following the February 6, 2023 Kahramanmaras–Elbistan earthquakes. Field investigations, visual damage surveys, non‐destructive testing (ultrasonic pulse velocity—UPV), concrete compressive strength measurements, peak ground ...
