Confined masonry (CM) has been adopted as a cost-effective and earthquake-resistant
solution for buildings, mostly in developing countries. CM has large potential for use in …

This article discusses the significance of confined masonry (CM) structures in terms of their
remarkable seismic performance in past earthquake events. However, the variability of CM …

This paper shows a novelty way to simulate the nonlinear behaviour of confined masonry
walls subjected to in-plane lateral loading by using a 3D macro-modelling approach. For this …

Seismic design codes for confined masonry (CM) buildings are few; therefore, in many
places these buildings are generally designed and constructed using simplified guidelines …

As seen during numerous earthquakes, confined masonry exhibited a reliable anti-seismic
response due to a number of factors. To understand the effect of these factors, a case study …

In this paper, a technique for seismic retrofit of unreinforced masonry walls is studied which
comprises addition of two vertical steel ties on both edges of the walls. In total, four …

Confined masonry (CM) is a construction system that consists of loadbearing masonry wall
panels enclosed by vertical and horizontal reinforced concrete confining elements. The …

Confined Masonry (CM) has been implemented as an affordable building type in many
earthquake-prone regions and continuously gaining popularity all over the world. This is …

Load-carrying capacity of confined masonry walls in the out-of-plane direction after being
damaged is crucial for overall stability and is affected by the type of interface present at the …

Full-scale single-room masonry buildings of different typology, ie, unreinforced (URM),
reinforced (RM) and Confined Masonry (CM) were tested under cyclic loading in quasi-static …
