Geogrid reinforced brick buildings for earthquake disaster mitigations

In a severe earthquake, the walls of brick buildings experience in-plane shear and out-of-plane bending, leading to diagonal crack corner failure, respectively. this study, an experimental investigation was carried out observe above damages on masonry reinforced with geogrid embedded in bed joint mortar walls. It observed that panels showed better strength, lateral ductility, etc. A qualitative comparison made using sinusoidal shake table test one-fourth single-room building model consisting two sets without reinforcement. wall reinforcement initiation at 0.45 g complete collapse over toppling transverse 0.90 g. contrast, no sign for strengthened any level shaking.
