“...increase the masonry capacity to dissipated energy before collapse. This is provided by the localization of the energy dissipation at its interface between masonry which is softer that the interface between brick/stone masonries. Then, shear bands slide on the masonry and the masonry stay as a monolithic element. This paper presents the first investigation of the impact of a shear wall. It focuses to analyze the capacity to dissipate energy in regards of the material
use for shear bands with the development of an experimental device to shear the interface in a quasi-static cyclic loading.
2. Shear band
Timber shear bands have been used for several centuries, and behaved very well during major earthquakes as observed in Europe (Balkanic countries, Greece), Asia (Turkey, Pakistan, India, Nepal, Bhutan), and Latin America (Chile, Bolivia) [10]. Moreover, during experimental tests, timber reinforced masonry wallets had better resistance to deformation than unreinforced masonry when subjected to c...”

“...while loading in both directions were noted and shear stress was calculated and tabulated in Table 3 below. As observed in the tabular value, the average stiffness and the plastic energy dissipated (which could be use as information about ductility behaviour) of TSB type 2 and concrete SB are comparable, and that of bamboo is the least which means a small amount of force can make large displacement with bamboo used as a shear band. These values of stiffness and energy dissipated can be used in development and validation of numerical
simulation code for carrying out the parametric analysis for shear band using different material.
4.4. Cost aspect
In order to conduct a financial analysis of construction works of similar types of building in different affected districts of Nepal, a model with two and a half storey houses - which includes an attic that is used as a storage place - was chosen with mud mortar as guided in the Nepal National Building Code 203 and the dimension of the building was taken...”
