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 does not enable an           accurate prediction of building behavior under lateral loads such as            seismic loads.  This research project will develop a limit state design         methodology for reinforced masonry under seismic loading.  The                  methodology will first define the principles which form the assumptions         upon which the methodology is based.  Second, it will describe the              procedures that are to be used for the implementation of the                    principles.  Development of the limit state design methodology will             provide reinforced masonry construction with a modern and economic tool         comparable to those available for reinforced concrete and cold-formed           steel.
