What is Seismic Design for Confined Adobe Masonry about?

The document summarizes experimental research on confined adobe masonry structures and proposes a seismic design approach. Previous shaking table and cyclic loading tests on confined adobe wall models showed they behaved elastically up to accelerations of 0.8-1.6g without cracking. A two-story model collapsed in the last shaking step due to lack of horizontal reinforcement. The proposed design is based on these experiments and uses reinforced concrete columns and beams to confine adobe walls, with minimum r
