In developing countries, Ferro-cement lamination on masonry would be a low cost solution for strengthening of RC buildings. This study aims to investigate the seismic performance of two half-scaled masonry infilled RC frames, without and with Ferro-cement lamination on masonry. The experimental results showed that Ferro-cement could help in increasing the lateral strength about two times. Simple prediction model has been investigated and it could estimate the strength of Ferro-cement laminated infilled frame. In addition, Ferro-cement technique showed good energy dissipation than infilled masonry.
