Confined Masonry for Seismically Resilient Low-Cost Housing in India:


Abstract eng:
Confined masonry (CM) is a viable housing typology that is seismically resilient and economical for application in developing countries. Given its suitability for low-tech environments, multiple authors have published instructions on CM construction that do not require engineering knowledge. As a result, these guidelines impose heavily constrictive design requirements. More precise analysis methods exist for calculating the stress demand on shear walls of a CM building under earthquake loads which may be applied to any design. However, these methods require technical expertise to perform. A procedure for designing CM buildings is presented that employs a combination of seismic analysis techniques to take into account torsional effects and allow for complex designs while requiring low computational effort. Parametric studies are performed on this procedure which show reliable, conservative structural design outputs.
