During the last decades, several macro-models have been proposed for the modelling of the infill panels' contribution to the lateral strength of frames. Despite all this effort, a robust …
An experimental study is carried out to investigate the mechanical properties of clay brick masonry fabricated using traditional mortars. In this regard, four types of mortar whose …

This study was to investigate the effect of coconut coir on the strength and durability properties of cement-lime surface plaster mortar. The purpose of adding coconut coir into the …
New Zealand's stock of unreinforced masonry (URM) bearing wall buildings was principally constructed between 1880 and 1935, using fired clay bricks and lime or cement mortar …
This paper presents an experimental study of the structural behaviour of masonry walls retrofitted with Textile Reinforced Mortar (TRM) to improve their in-plane shear strength and …

Unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings constitute a significant part of existing building inventory worldwide. Past earthquakes have shown that these buildings are highly …
Results of an experimental campaign conducted on plain and reinforced masonry wallettes subjected to diagonal compression tests are presented in this paper. The masonry panels …

This standard remains available, but an updated version has been published here. Sponsored by the Structural Engineering Institute of ASCE Seismic Evaluation and Retrofit …
The masonry tensile strength and shear modulus play a key role in the definition of the shear capacity of masonry structures. These properties are often determined experimentally by …
