What is Retrofitting URM Houses with Ferrocement about?
This study investigates the retrofitting of hollow brick unreinforced masonry (URM) buildings using ferrocement layers to enhance earthquake resistance. Experimental tests on two models demonstrated that the retrofitted structure maintained integrity under seismic loads, while the original model suffered significant damage and eventual collapse. The findings indicate that ferrocement layers effectively improve the ductility and stability of hollow brick URM houses during seismic events.
