Abstract

An earthquake is a natural disaster that occurs on earth, due to which the loss of life and property is at a greatest extent. One of its direct effects is on masonry structures. The masonry being brittle in nature tends to fail easily under lateral loads. In this paper, an attempt is made to increase the ductility of masonry by using geogrids as reinforcement. Geogrids are the high tensile geosynthetics which have high flexibility and durability. The stress strain behaviour is one of the most important characteristics of the material, which focuses on the behaviour of material under loading. A comparison study is made with and without geogrid reinforcement. The modulus of elasticity is found by constructing stack bond prisms using stabilized mud blocks.
