STUDY ON EARTHQUAKE RESISTANCE TECHNOLOGY OF COMPOSITE MASONRY BUILDINGS IN BHUTAN Part 17: Full scale tests on composite masonry buildings: Mesh-wrapped stone masonry with cement mortar construction

摘要

The proposed mesh-retrofitting scheme is found effective inenhancing capacity of the prototype building 1.6 times above theunreinforced counterpart. Clearly defined damage limit states arealso proposed for typical stone masonry buildings from the tests.
