Mechanical Performance of Confined Autoclaved Fly-Ash-Brick Masonry Walls under Cyclic Loading

In order to solve the limitations of masonry structures, such as poor seismic performance, complicated construction techniques, and energy wastage of wall materials, a new type of confined autoclaved fly-ash-brick wall was proposed and its mechanical performance was analyzed. An axial compression te...
