Abstract The present work investigates the seismic evaluation of two-storied unre-
inforced masonry building with rigid diaphragm when subjected to seismic lateral
loading. The work consists of three-dimensional modeling of two-storied masonry
building, which forms a common building stock in India. Nonlinear analysis is
performed using SAP 2000 software. The building is designed for Bhuj (Zone V).
After nonlinear analysis, retrofitting of masonry building is done by providing bond
beam designed as per IS 4326:1993. The demands are calculated as per IS 1893:2002
and FEMA-356 (2000) and compared with the capacity of building obtained from
nonlinear static curves. The main objective of the work is to perform pushover anal-
ysis on the masonry building in order to assess its performance for Bhuj (Zone
V).
