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

This paper reports an experimental programme on masonry walls composed of handmade
solid clay brick and hydraulic lime mortar. Reversed cyclic shear compression tests were …

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 …

A key feature that determines the seismic performance of masonry buildings is the ability of
the walls to withstand in-plane cyclic loads. In this context, Textile Reinforced Mortars (TRM) …

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 …

In this study, a practical seismic retrofit technique was developed for unreinforced masonry
(URM) walls using precast panels of fiber-reinforced cementitious composites (FRCC). A …

Abstract Textile Reinforced Concrete (TRC) materials have proven to be not only a viable
solution, but also an effective one when used to strengthen Reinforced Concrete (RC) …

House self-construction and self-management are very common in different cities in Peru,
which is the case in several areas in the district of San Miguel (Puno). This is due to the lack …

Recent research on the mechanical characterisation of Steel Reinforced Grout (SRG) has
highlighted its excellent performance as strengthening solutions for masonry structures …

Around 56% of dwellings in Lima are constructed with confined masonry walls, and over
70% are built without engineering design and supervision. This building stock is exposed to …
