What is Confined Masonry Squat Walls Study about?

This paper presents the results of experimental tests on two confined masonry wall specimens (CMW1 and CMW2). Both specimens were made of solid bricks and mortar, and laterally confined by reinforced concrete boundary elements. The specimens were subjected to cyclic lateral loading and a constant axial load. Both specimens exhibited similar behavior up to 0.4% lateral drift, with cracking initially appearing in the masonry and then the concrete elements. CMW1 failed suddenly at 0.8% drift due to shear failu
