Masonry walls are prone to cracking under lateral forces such as wind or earthquakes. These cracks can compromise the structural integrity over time.

🔩 Role of Vertical Steel Bars:

Installed at regular intervals in walls.

Anchored into the foundation and roof bands.

Resist bending and shear forces.

Help distribute stress evenly, preventing major cracks.

🏗️ Why It Matters: Without reinforcement, walls behave like brittle elements and easily fracture during earthquakes. With vertical reinforcements, the walls act more ductile, improving safety and longevity.
