- Abstract
- This report describes an experimental program conducted on unreinforced masonry (URM) walls subjected to dynamic, out-of-plane motions. The experimental program is one of several tasks in an overall research program, sponsored by the National Science Foundation, whose objective is to develop a methodology for mitigation of seismic hazards in existing unreinforced masonry buildings.
