Axial Load-Flexural Strength Interaction of Masonry Walls

In this paper, an analytical investigation of the axial load-flexural strength interaction of reinforced masonry
walls is carried. The curvature ductility of masonry walls is also evaluated for masonry walls with different
modes of reinforcement configurations under different levels of axial loads. Results from this paper indicate
that at low axial loads masonry walls exhibit sufficient ductility to be employed in areas of medium to high
seismicity
