HORIZONTAL BANDSHorizontal band refers to a technique of reinforcing masonry buildings using bands of higher tensile strength. This is done to form an altogether connection thereby establishing a single unit.Horizontal bands are located at various levels including lintels, plinth levels of a building and ceiling levels.Horizontal bands are classified as Plinth, Lintel, Gable and Roof Bands

The Plinth Band is mostly useful in regions with weak soils especially in the hilly areas where the soil is soft and has uneven properties (Manohar, 2015, p.258).Lintel Bands are provided at the lintel level. The band experiences bending during earthquakes therefore call for special supervision and care during construction

Roof Bland is mainly used with buildings whose roofs are made of flat timber. The band is not usable for roofs made of bricks or concrete slabs since reinforced concentrate slabs are themselves horizontal bands (Manohar, 2015, p.312).Gable Bands are used in sloping roofs i.e. roofs with truss construction.Design Details for Horizontal Bands
