AB  - In the Western Cape Province of South Africa, multi-storey buildings of unreinforced load bearing masonry (ULM) were constructed before seismic resistance became a standardized requirement. The region lies in a light to moderate seismic zone in South Africa. It is foreseen that these buildings might perform poorly during seismic events due to their brittle in-plane shear failure mode. In response, a research project was launched to develop an overlay retrofitting strategy to enhance seismic resistance of ULM. As overlay material, strain-hardening cement-based composites (SHCC) is used. In this paper, a preferred failure mechanism is described and designed for by restricting…
