Masonry bricks construction is vulnerable to seismic forces and has been used around the world. Thisresearch is carried out on infill masonry wall constructed from half scaled bricks to stabilize the ductility anddeformation of infill wall to reduce the cost and casualties. Three panel are designed for the direct in-plane loading andout-of-plane loading, with retrofitting technique using steel wire mesh and last panel is without steel wire mesh forsimple prism test is perform on these three panel. The result shows the panel is constructed with retrofitting technique ofin-plane and out-of-plane are more durable and stabilized as to simple masonry bricks wall construction
