Effectiveness of SWRCM Composite Strips for Masonry Walls with Openings under In-Plane Cyclic Loading: An Experimental Study

Published in Engineering Failure Analysis (Elsevier), 2026.

This research investigates the strengthening of unreinforced masonry walls using Steel Wire Reinforced Cementitious Matrix (SWRCM) composite strips. The study evaluates the structural performance of masonry walls with openings under cyclic loading conditions. Experimental results demonstrate significant improvement in strength, stiffness, and energy dissipation capacity, highlighting the effectiveness of SWRCM systems for seismic strengthening and rehabilitation of masonry structures.
