文摘

Dry stack masonry walls behave as conventional walls under out-of-plane loading. Grouting of dry stack masonry walls improves energy absorption and load capacity. Ungrouted post-tensioned dry stack walls are efficient in medium seismic zones. MSJC provides applicable design equations for flexural dry stacked masonry walls.
