Fully grouted reinforced masonry (FGRM) walls, being an assemblage of hollow blocks with
all cores grouted and vertical and horizontal reinforcements, offer unparalleled resistance to …

Most international masonry design standards include the contribution of reinforcements to
enhance the capacity of reinforced masonry walls subject to seismic loading. As masonry is …

This paper presents a simplified analytical approach for modeling the behavior of both
individual reinforced masonry structural walls (RMSWs)(component level) and systems of …

This paper provides critical analyses of the presence of the reinforced grout cores within the
masonry walls with particular reference to the existing in-plane shear design expressions in …

Many experimental and analytical investigations were carried out on fully-grouted reinforced
masonry shear walls types (rectangular, flanged or end-confined) to investigate their …

This paper presents the development of 3D finite element (FE) technique to model and
analyse reinforced masonry (RM) walls under axial compression. The Arc-length algorithm …

The stress–strain characteristics of reinforced masonry (RM) under axial compression
should be correctly understood to effectively analyse and design RM elements. However …

The experimental in-plane force-displacement response of unreinforced masonry (URM)
walls with flanges (return walls) subjected to pseudo-static cyclic lateral loading is …

Partially Grouted Reinforced Masonry (PGRM) shear walls perform well in places where the
cyclonic wind pressure dominates the design. Their out-of-plane flexural performance is …

This paper presents the outcome of a research study carried out to assess the eccentric
compression behaviour of reinforced concrete block masonry (RM) walls. The design …
