Resumen:

This paper presents an overview of the development of a global design guideline for confined masonry buildings sponsored by the Confined Masonry Network (www.confinedmasonry.org) under the auspices of EERI and a few other organizations. The authors of the proposed paper are co-chairing a committee of thirteen international experts responsible for developing the Seismic Design Guide for Confined Masonry Buildings. The guide contains design provisions related to the layout, wall density, and size of confined masonry structural components (RC tie-columns and tie-beams, and masonry walls), reinforcement size and detailing. The guide includes prescriptive design recommendations for low-rise buildings, and rational procedures for seismic design of engineered midrise buildings. The guideline addresses variations in seismic hazard and construction practices such as strength of masonry and reinforced concrete, and the type of horizontal diaphragm (light wooden roofs versus reinforced concrete slabs).
