What is Confined Masonry (CM) Construction
• CM construction consists of masonry walls and horizontal and vertical RCconfining members built on all four sides of a masonry wall panel.
• Masonry walls : made either of clay brick or concrete block units
• Confining Elements :• Vertical ties : (Tie-columns or Practical columns)• Horizontal ties : (Tie-beams)

Structural Components of a Confined Masonry (CM) Building
• Confining Elements : Provide restraint to masonry walls and protect them fromcomplete disintegration even in major EQs.
• Confining members are effective in• Enhancing the stability and integrity of masonry walls for IP & OOP EQ
Loads• Enhancing the strength (resistance) of masonry walls under EQ loads• Reducing the brittleness of masonry walls under EQ loads
• Masonry walls : Transmit the gravity load from the slab(s) above down to thefoundation. The walls act as bracing panels, which resist horizontal EQ. forces.Must be confined by concrete ties
• Floor and Roof Slabs : acts as diaphragms, transmit gravity and lateral loads tothe walls
• Plinth Band : Transmits the load from the walls down to the foundation.
• Foundation : Transmits the loads from the structure to the soils

Construction Masonry (CM) – Global Context
• Evolved through informal process based on performance in earthquake• Practiced in central and south American countries since as early as 1930’s and
40’s• Currently practiced in several countries of high seismic risks- Latin, America,
Mediterranean Europe, Iran, Indonesia, China and in India (late comer)• CM if Properly built, shows satisfactory performance in severe earthquakes in
the past
• 1985 Mexico earthquake (M8.0)• 2001 La paz earthquake (elsalvador) (M7.7)• 2004 Sumtra earthquake (Indonesia) (M9.0)• 2007 Pisco earthquake (Peru) (M8.0)• 2010 Chile earthquake (M8.8) and others
• Confined masonry network established in 2008 under WHE with two objectives• To improve design and construction of CM where is currently in use• To introduce CM in areas where it can reduce seismic risks

Confined Masonry in Nepal - Context
• Construction of reinforced concrete frame and masonry wall is trending in citiesand towns
• Heavy damage observed in those construction in the last earthquake even in lowPGA and spectral acceleration
• Non-ductile RC frame construction• Unreinforced masonry walls vulnerable to lateral loading
• The presence of wall is in RC construction is not utilized as well as theconsequence of irregularity is overlooked
Confined masonry construction provides opportunity for improved performance in earthquake utilizing constriction from both RC and masonry components [technologies which require similar (preferably lower) level of construction skills and are economically viable]
Its simple in design and analogues to conventional construction of RC frame with walls (EXTENSIVE ENGINEERING INPUT NOT REQUIRED)

Seismic Performance of CM
Confined masonry construction is found in countries/regions with very high seismic risk,
• Latin America (Mexico, Chile, Peru, Argentina),
• Mediterranean Europe (Italy, Slovenia),
• South Asia (Indonesia), and the Far East (China).
• In some countries (e.g. Italy) for almost 100 years
• If properly built, shows satisfactory seismic performance
EXTENSIVE ENGINEERING INPUT NOT REQUIRED!

Seismic Performance of CM
Confined masonry construction has been exposed to several destructive earthquakes:
• 1985 Lloleo, Chile (magnitude 7.8)
• 1985 Mexico City, Mexico (magnitude 8.0)
• 2001 El Salvador (magnitude 7.7)
• 2003 Tecoman, Mexico (magnitude 7.6)
• 2007 Pisco, Peru (magnitude 8.0)
• 2003 Bam, Iran (magnitude 6.6)
• 2004 The Great Sumatra Earthquake and Tsunami, Indonesia (magnitude 9.0)
• 2007 Pisco, Peru (magnitude 8.0)
• 2010 Maule, Chile earthquake (magnitude 8.8)
• 2010 Haiti earthquake (magnitude 7.0)
Confined masonry buildings performed very well in these majorearthquakes – some buildings were damaged, but no humanlosses

Seismic Performance of CM
A six-storey confined masonry building remained undamaged in the August 2007 Pisco, Peru earthquake (Magnitude 8.0) while many other masonry buildings experienced severe damage or collapse
