| Abstract: | A variety of masonry structures suffered damage during the recent Bhuj earthquake. Some of the traditional masonry structures
had no earthquake resistant features and suffered considerable damage. This paper attempts to evaluate the behaviour of masonry
structures based on the type of masonry used in places like Bhuj, Anjar, Bhachau, Morbi, Samakhyali and several other places.
Quite a few masonry buildings had used earthquake resistant features like lintel bands and corner reinforcements. The cracking
and failure patterns of such buildings have also been examined. The paper concludes with a discussion on the relevance of
the current codal provisions for earthquake resistance of masonry structures and the direction of further research in the
area. |
