ABSTRACT OBJECTIVES
Masonry constructions are the pervasive building stock in India. 1. Seismic resistance: The primary objective of confined masonry
Nonetheless, in some of the cases, such constructions are designed for is to enhance the seismic resistance of masonry structures. By

DISSCUSION (FAILUERS)
CONCLUSION
The walls of a building are generally classified as either in-plane or out-of-
plane walls (Figure ), and it is necessary for the walls to have sufficient Confined masonry offers several advantages over other types of
strength to withstand both in-plane and out-of-plane loading. In-plane masonry construction methods.
seismic effects have been found to be critical in ground-story walls . On the 1. Structural Integrity
other hand, OOP effects are prominent in the upper stories of CM buildings. 2. Improved Seismic Performance
3. Flexibility in Design
4. Enhanced Fire Resistance
5. Durability and Longevity
6. Construction Speed and Cost Efficiency
While confined masonry offers significant advantages, it is
important to note that proper design, construction, and
maintenance practices must be followed to ensure its
effectiveness and safety. Consulting with qualified professionals,
Shear Failure: Shear failure occurs when the masonry walls or the mortar such as structural engineers experienced in confined masonry
joints in the walls experience excessive horizontal forces. This can lead to design, is crucial to achieve the desired results and comply with
sliding or crushing of the masonry units or the mortar, resulting in the loss local building codes and regulations.
of load-bearing capacity.
Diagonal Cracking: Diagonal cracking can occur in the masonry walls
when the applied loads cause tension forces. These cracks typically form at TEAM MEMBERS
a 45-degree angle to the horizontal. Diagonal cracking can weaken the walls
and compromise their structural integrity. PRADEEP S PATIL - 1BM20CV113
Flexural cracks:- in confined masonry structures typically occur when the RAKSHITH D PATIL - 1BM21CV413
