Provision of vertically reinforcing material close to the surface is termed as ‘containment reinforcement’. It is a novel technique employed for the enhancement of performance of masonry structure when subjected to earthquake. Plenty of literature is available on experimental and analytical investigations on dynamic and static behavior of containment reinforced masonry. In the present work the FEM model proposed in the literature has been modified to an equivalent frame model (EFM) which is subjected to seismic excitations. Parameters used in equivalent frame model have been evaluated using experimental database. Present work includes evaluation of limiting drift ratios for unreinforced masonry and containment reinforced masonry buildings through incremental dynamic analysis (IDA). Modeling of unreinforced masonry and containment reinforced masonry buildings is carried out in SAP2000. Because of the simplicity and computational efficiency of EFM, it can be used for development of fragility curves for containment reinforced masonry structures.
