EARTHQUAKE TIP 14
By-
Gaurav Baviskar
WHY ARE HORIZONTAL BANDS ARE NECESSARY
IN MASONRY BUILDING?
 Horizontal bands are the most important
earthquake-resistant feature in masonry buildings.
 They hold a masonry building as a single unit by
tying all the walls together
 There are four types of bands in a typical masonry
building,
gable band, roof band, lintel band and plinth band
THE LINTEL BAND TIES
THE WALLS TOGETHER AND
CREATES A SUPPORT FOR
WALLS LOADED ALONG
WEAK DIRECTION FROM
WALLS LOADED IN STRONG
DIRECTION.
DESIGN OF LINTEL BANDS
 During earthquake
shaking, the lintel
band undergoes
bending and pulling
actions
 The straight lengths
of the band must be
properly connected at
the wall corners.
 This will allow the band to
support walls loaded in their
weak direction by walls
loaded in their strong
direction.
 In wooden bands, proper
nailing of straight lengths with
spacers is important.
Likewise, in RC bands,
adequate anchoring of steel
links with steel bars is
necessary.
EARTHQUAKE TIP 15
WHY IS VERTICAL REINFORCEMENT REQUIRED
IN MASONRY BUILDING?
 Even if horizontal bands are provided, masonry
buildings are weakened by the openings in their
walls
 During earthquake shaking, the masonry walls get
grouped into three sub-units, namely spandrel
masonry, wall pier masonry and sill masonry.
 When the ground shakes, the inertia force causes
the small-sized masonry wall piers to disconnect
from the masonry above and below.
 These masonry sub-
units rock back and
forth, developing
contact only at the
opposite diagonals
 The rocking of a
masonry pier can
crush the masonry
at the corners.
Rocking is possible
when masonry piers
are slender, and
when weight of the
structure above is
small.
 In un-reinforced
masonry buildings
(Figure 3), the cross-
section area of the
masonry wall reduces
at the opening.
 During strong
earthquake shaking,
the building may slide
just under the roof,
below the lintel band
or at the sill level.
HOW VERTICAL REINFORCEMENT HELPS
 Embedding vertical
reinforcement bars in the edges
of the wall piers and anchoring
them in the foundation at the
bottom and in the roof band at
the top , forces the slender
masonry piers to undergo
bending instead of rocking
 Adequate cross-sectional area of
these vertical bars prevents the
bar from yielding in tension.
Further, the vertical bars also
help protect the wall from sliding
as well as from collapsing in the
weak direction.
PROTECTION OF OPENINGS IN WALLS
 the most common damage, observed after an
earthquake, is diagonal X-cracking of wall piers,
and also inclined cracks at the corners of door and
window openings.
 When a wall with an opening deforms during
earthquake shaking, the shape of the opening
distorts and becomes more like a rhombus
 Under this type of deformation, the corners that
come closer develop cracks
 The cracks are bigger
when the opening sizes
are larger. Steel bars
provided in the wall
masonry all around the
openings restrict these
cracks at the corners
