What is Seismic Retrofitting of Stone Masonry in Pakistan about?

1) Stone masonry structures are common in parts of the world but vulnerable to earthquakes due to low shear and tensile resistance of stone walls. 2) In Pakistan, many stone masonry buildings constructed with thick double leaf walls and mud mortar lack earthquake resistance. 3) An indigenous retrofitting scheme for Pakistani stone masonry buildings was developed using locally available steel sections to jacket walls and connect them, increasing strength and stiffness to improve seismic performance.
