Abstract: This paper presents a design procedure to determine the out-of-plane strength of confined masonry walls. For this purpose, eight full-scale confined walls were tested in the laboratory. Walls were subjected to axial and ...

Abstract: The in-plane shear behavior of autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) confined masonry walls has been studied considering only cantilever walls. In coupled walls, there are changes in the bending moments and axial forces of ...
