In the past experimental studies on reinforced fully-grouted masonry walls, some of the wall specimens failed in sliding failure mode. The main objective of present study is to investigate the sliding strength of grouted masonry wall. First, sliding strength and deformation characteristic obtained from the wall specimens are summarized. And then, a formula to predict the sliding strength, which consists of friction effect due to compressive force working on the bottom section of the wall and dowel effect due to reinforcing bars crossing the bottom section, is proposed. In addition, simplified methods to estimate the two effects are proposed.
