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.

Seismic Capacity Assessment of Confined Brick Masonry Building: An Experimental Approach
Shock and Vibration, 2018 Brick masonry is widely used for building construction throughout the world. However, unreinforced brick masonry buildings performed poorly in the 2005 Kashmir earthquake, in Pakistan, resulting in a decline in the use of brick masonry.

Masonry wall panels retrofitted with thermal-insulating GFRP-reinforced jacketing [PDF]
, 2015 Today there is a need to provide thermally efficient walls, while at the same time to increase the mechanical properties of old unreinforced masonry walls that will not require large amounts of energy in the retrofitting or deconstruction processes.

Minimum energy strategies for the in-plane behaviour of masonry
Fracture and Structural Integrity, 2020 Unreinforced masonry is the most diffused construction material in the major part of historical centers in Europe. In a building subjected to earthquake forces the contribution of in-plane shear resistance of the masonry walls is a determinant factor for

Challenges and perspectives for the protection of masonry structures in historic centers: the role of innovative materials and techniques [PDF]
, 2016 Lessons learned from natural events which caused severe damage to existing constructions have repeatedly shown the high vulnerability of historically important masonry, often worsened by inaccurate or dubious applications of modern or innovative ...
