Masonry construction comprises a large portion of building construction         in the U.S. and the world.  Reinforced masonry construction use is              increasing in moderate to higher seismic zones because of its apparent          features of economy, fire safety, architectural flexibility and ease of         construction.  The present state of masonry structural analysis and             design and materials and construction technologies do not enable an             accurate prediction of building behavior under lateral loads such as            seismic loads.  This research project will examine, using experimental          methods, the seismic response of reinforced masonry walls under                 out-of-plane loading.  The objective of the project is to provide               experimental data about the hysteretic behavior of reinforced masonry           walls to develop nonlinear analysis techniques for walls under seismic          loading.  The results will then be used to establish rational limit             state design methodologies for reinforced masonry construction.
