Performance improvement studies of masonry houses using elastic post-tensioning straps.
Unreinforced masonry houses are composed of building blocks with weak inter-binding action between them which commonly possess low tensile strength. The principal tensile stresses generated by out-of-plane bending and in-plane shear forces cannot be tolerated well and leads to heavy structural damag...
