This study aimed to investigate the efficiency of shotcrete retrofitting method for seismic
rehabilitation of conventional unreinforced and confined masonry walls. In this regard, six …

Accurate prediction of the shear load capacity (SLC) of partially grouted masonry walls
(PGMW) remains challenging due to the complex behavior of the material which depends on …

Mortarless interlocking brick walls are a new form of masonry structures that can be
efficiently constructed. In this study, a detailed numerical model of an interlocking brick wall …

This paper proposes specific ultimate shear strength expressions for partially-grouted
reinforced masonry (PG-RM) shear walls that are bed-joint reinforced (BJR) and made with …

Partially grouted (PG) masonry structures are widely used in many regions worldwide,
especially those regions with low and mid-intensity wind and/or seismic actions. Depending …

Partially grouted (PG) masonry shear walls have commonly been used for construction in
seismic regions. However, predicting their behaviour is quite complicated due to the non …

casualties, economic losses, downtime, and environmental impacts derived from earthquake …

Stiffness degradation Confined masonry wall (CMW) systems provide better capacity to
withstand lateral loads than bare frame systems without infill walls; this includes …

Prestressing technology is an effective way to improve the seismic performance of masonry
structures such as concrete masonry wall. Therefore, bonded prestressing technology …
