This study presents a prediction method on structural performance for confined masonry walls and for retrofitting of confined masonry walls by comparison with results of structural test performed at structural laboratory in CISMID UNI-Lima-Peru. The cyclic loading tests on walls were carried out two different kinds of the retrofitted schemes of confined masonry walls: the one is a wire mesh wrapping alternative and the other is the combined materials such as adhesive and disposal mats with different arrangements. On the other hand, the methodology to evaluate structural performance for retrofitted confined masonry wall is suggested. And the accuracy of the prediction method could be verified, and the applicability of this model in analysis is confirmed using pushover analysis.
