Stone masonry buildings are common in many areas in the Alpine-Himalayan earthquake zone, and their failure in recent earthquakes has been the cause of many deaths. Poverty and lack of alternatives prevent the replacement of stone masonry with more ductile materials, but the brittleness of unreinforced stone masonry can be considerably reduced by the incorporation of horizontal lacings of timber or reinforced mortar.As part of a joint research project with the Turkish Earthquake Research Institute in Ankara to study low-cost upgrading strategies for rural earthquake protection, full-scale wall elements were subjected to static lateral loading test and dynamic tests on an impulse table. A simple ‘yield-line analysis’ based on wall overturning was shown to be able to give a useful prediction of the mode of failure and failure load in the static test, and give guidance on the relative performance of unreinforced and reinforced walls in the dynamic test. The results of these tests were used to assess the cost-effectiveness of a large-scale programme of upgrading rural buildings in eastern Turkey.
