2. INTRODUCTION
 The basic features of confined masonary
construction system,
• Vertical reinforced concrete elements
• Reinforced masory elements
• Tie columns
 Confined masonary is a structural system widely
used for housing in Latin America, Europe and
Asia.
 It consist of basically of masonary panels and
slender casted in plasce confining elements.

3.  Structural components of confined
masonary building are
1. Masonary Walls
2. Confining Elements i.e. tie column and tie beam
3. Floor and Roof Slab
4. Plinth band
5. Foundation

4. DIFFRERNCE BETWEEN CONFINED
MASONRY AND RC CONSTRUCTION
CONFINED,MASONARY RC CONSTRUCTION
Strip footing is Isolated footing is
used used
First walls are cons- Masonary wall
are
-tructed later
Tie Columns are Frame is
construct-
cast in place -ed first i.e.
column,

5. APPLICATION OF CONFINED MASONARY CONS.
Used for reconstruction of earthquake affected
structures.
This system became popular in areas of highiest
seismic hazard.
Widely used in housing construction from single
storey to five storey apartment buildings.

6.  RESISTANCE TO EARTHQUAKE.
 EASY TO CONSTRUCTION
 CONSTRUCTION IS ECONOMICAL AND DURABLE

7. CONCLUSION :
CONFINED MASONARY CONSTRUCTION IS BENEFITIAL IN
EARTHQUAKE SUFFERING AREAS.
