This paper presents a study on seismic resistance of typical single and double storey masonry buildings constructed in the southern districts of Pakhthunkhwa, Pakistan. Two types of bricks; wooden and rice husk burnt bricks, have been investigated in combination with mud and cement-sand mortar. Plane and reinforced specimens have been tested in axial compression and diagonal compression. Analysis of the experimental results show that both single and double storey buildings constructed in the study area with mud mortar and mud plaster are seismically vulnerable. However application of the wire mesh on wall surface subsequently plastered increases the strength significantly and make the structure resistant to the earthquake forces.

This article studies the deformability of Fang Ren Glass Cloth in strengthening autoclaved fly ash brick masonry, based on the experiment of the mechanical behavior of specimens under single-direction loading. It also analyzes grid sticking method and the effect of U、L trim strips anchoring of specimens. One polymer mortar specimen and three strengthening specimens are used in the experiment. The results illustrates that the cracking load、ultimate load and deformability of strengthened masonry are higher than the un-strengthened one. The study has also shown that anchoring is important; the effect of strengthening is remarkable when anchored well.
