In order to prevent failure and collapse in the event of a severe earthquake or the addition of more weight on buildings, masonry walls need to be reinforced before either scenario may occur. It is probable that the strength of the masonry walls of the structure will need to be strengthened in order for the restoration procedure to be completed successfully. Masonry walls that are not reinforced have a high compressive strength, but these walls are brittle and extremely weak when exposed to the action of lateral loads, which causes tension in the walls. Masonry walls may be reinforced using steel or concrete ties. When tensional forces are put on a masonry wall, there is an increased risk that the wall may crack. Masonry walls are susceptible to cracking for a number of reasons, including the base moving, the shaking from earthquakes, and lateral stresses being applied to the structure. After that, in order to make the beams more robust, additional layers of cast-in-place wire mesh and precast ferrocement laminates were added to them. The experimental findings, which were measured in terms of stiffness, have been compared both within and between the groups in order to evaluate the impact of varying the development length and the number of wire-mesh layers. This was done so that we could determine how the length of development affects the stiffness of the material. time required to build a brick masonry beam without using plaster in the construction process.
