Seismic force is a major concern for the engineers nowadays especially in countries like India where the occurrence of earthquakes are frequent nowadays. In order to make a structure seismic-resistant, engineers opt for ductile design, ductile detailing, shear wall construction, etc. which ultimately sometimes increase the cost for small and medium height structures. Confined Masonry are those structures which are mainly built with walls but are confined with beams and columns which are poured after the walls are built. For Medium and Low height structures, this Confined Masonry structures gives a good performance against seismic forces and hence can be used as a Seismic Resistant Structures economically. This paper mainly deals with the Overview of Confined Masonry Structures, their differences with RC structures and some basic guidelines for construction of Confined Masonry Structures which are collected from various research papers and books. It also highlights various analysis techniques of Confined Masonry Structure and its elements from various research wor
