| description | Cellular lightweight concrete (CLC) block masonry is an eco-friendly building material gaining popularity in both developed and developing countries. Despite its increasing use, the material's behavior under seismic loading remains insufficiently understood. This research involved quasi-static testing of two full-scale CLC blocks masonry walls strengthened with ferrocement overlay. One of the strengthened walls was subjected to confinement, while the other was unconfined. The aim was to assess their seismic performance by comparing force deformation curves, damping, stiffness degradation, and structural performance levels with non-strengthened walls. The findings indicate that the strengthened masonry outperformed the unreinforced version, suggesting that CLC block masonry exhibits potential for effective performance in low to moderate seismic zones. |
