Abstract
Past earthquakes witnessed the poor performance of unreinforced masonry (URM) structures resulting into huge economic loss and large number of casualties. In this context, the present paper is aimed to investigate the shear behaviour of a series of masonry wallets (unretrofitted and retrofitted) under diagonal compressive loading. To improve the wallet behaviour in shear, polypropylene band (PP-band) and steel wire mesh (WM) are used as retrofitting material. Both faces of wall are wrapped to get full tightening effect during loading. Bricks having standard size and half scale size are used to construct the full scale wallet and small scale wallet, respectively. It has been observed that retrofitted wall exhibits significant improvement in terms of load carrying capacity, displacement ability. Failure mode for both unreinforced masonry (URM) and strengthened specimens are reported and shear strength is computed using analytical formulations. It was observed that both the strengthening materials not only increase the load carrying capacity but also helps in changing the failure mode from brittle to ductile in some extent. From the study, it may be concluded that use of PP band and steel wire mesh are effective in improving the shear behaviour of masonry structures for both the types of wallets.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
