The importance of non-structural components in building performance under seismic action
is well recognized in the scientific community. Damage to residential buildings registered in …

Confined masonry (CM) buildings experienced some major damages in past earthquakes.
Numerous studies have investigated various strengthening techniques to improve the …

This study presents experimental and numerical research on the in-plane behavior of
unreinforced confined masonry walls retrofitted using engineered cementitious composite …

The results of in-plane static cyclic lateral loading tests conducted on unreinforced masonry
walls retrofitted with trowelling engineered cementitious composites (ECC) are presented in …

As numerous impressive large-scale 3D printed concrete structures have been built with 3D
concrete printing (3DCP) technology, more attention has been given to the automation …

Unreinforced masonries are weak against seismic loads which necessitates their retrofitting.
Ferrocement is widely used as it is cheaper than alternative methods of retrofitting. Some …

This paper investigates the in-plane seismic behavior of eight unreinforced masonry (URM)
walls before and after being retrofitted by basalt fiber reinforced polymer (BFRP). Among …

An experimental study was conducted to assess the effect on strength and ductility of
retrofitting unreinforced masonry (URM) shear panels with near surface mounted (NSM) …

The preliminary findings of cyclic tests conducted on a series of half-scale unstrengthened
and strengthened masonry walls are presented. Reinforced walls were strengthened by (i) …

Extensive damage in a large number of existing masonry buildings during recent
earthquakes has shown the need for structural repairing techniques for masonry structures …
