Abstract | ||||
. Confined masonry (CM) is considered one of the popular forms of low-cost and low-rise construction throughout the world. Confined masonry consists of no reinforced masonry walls surrounded by concrete tie-columns, in the vertical direction, and tie-beams, in the horizontal direction. In some countries confined masonry walls may include joint reinforcement. Although confined masonry structures are still a common masonry construction system in several countries, the majority of them are built using plain masonry. All load-bearing walls in confined masonry constructions must be confining on all sides with horizontal and vertical confining elements. The goal of this research is to use a numerical analysis method using ANSYS software package to evaluate the impact of confining elements such as tie-columns, in-plan walls, and out-plan walls on resisting horizontal lateral loads. Finally, results and conclusions were provided from different finite element analysis models of confined masonry buildings with various confining element configurations | ||||
