Unreinforced brickwork (URM) is the most established development method. URM being weak can't withstand the parallel burdens amid a seismic region. Consequently, it is important to locate an appropriate low-cost technique to fortify existing brickwork structures. In this paper flexural bond strength test was conducted on the rectangular brick masonry prisms with two types of welded wire meshes (epoxy coated mesh with the spacing of 12mm and galvanized iron wire mesh with the spacing of 15mm). Masonry prisms were cast and tested as per the guidelines are given in ASTM E518 /E518-15 standards. The results of the flexural bond strength embedded masonry prism show greater when comparing the prisms with no mesh embedment.

Unreinforced Masonry buildings are vulnerable because the walls and parapets aren’t securely tried to the floors and roof. In an earthquake, parapets can break away, walls pull apart and the floors collapse. This paper presents the experimental study performed on the flexural bond strength of unreinforced brick masonry prism. Different percentage (1%, 2%, and 3%) of Hooked Steel Fibre was used. One of the most geometrical parameters of fibres is their length, diameter and aspect ratio. Masonry prism will be cast and tested as per the guidelines are given in ASTM E518/E518-15. The results of the flexural bond strength test of prisms with and without fibre discussed.
