Equivalent Viscous Damping and Inelastic Displacement for Strengthened and Reinforced Masonry Walls
The masonry still one of the widespread construction system for low-rise residential buildings even for countries prone to seismic risk. Despite seismic design methods yet in use are force-based, in the last decades was highlighted as the differences in strength between two levels of damage is low, …

Numerical Analysis of Reinforced Masonry Shear Walls Using the Nonlinear Truss Approach
Reinforced masonry (RM) shear walls are a common lateral load-resisting system for building structures. The seismic design guidelines for such systems are based on relatively limited experimental data. Given the restrictions imposed by the capabilities of available experimental equipment, …

An experimental study of the response of reinforced masonry building systems to earthquake motions
… were performed to study the dynamic response of reinforced concrete masonry building structures. Two reduced-scale reinforced masonry perforated shear wall structures were subjected to simulated earthquake motions on a shaking table. A third was tested using conventional static methods to provide …

Strengthening of reinforced masonry walls subjected to out-of-plane pseudo-static cyclic load using advanced composite
… have conducted experimental tests on unreinforced masonry walls (URM) strengthened with advanced composite materials. Consequently, the strengthening design guidelines are limited in their scope to URM. This research aimed to investigate the behavior of reinforced masonry walls …

Formulation and Validation of a Nonlinear Shell Element for the Analysis of Reinforced Concrete and Masonry Structures
Reinforced concrete (RC) shear wall buildings constitute a significant portion of the building inventory in many earthquake-prone regions. A similar type of structural system is fully-grouted reinforced masonry (RM) shear wall structures. The accurate determination of the nonlinear response of …

Estudo da flexão em vigas de alvenaria armada de tijolo vazado de barro
Studying the pure bending in reinforced masonry beams made with hollow clay bricks. With this aim fifteen beams with approximately the same geometrical characteristics and the same transversal reinforcement were tested until the failure. The variable parameters were the type of brick, the …

Implementing Impedance - Based Health Monitoring
… study of monitoring the integrity of composite-reinforced masonry structures. We developed a software package which enables even a casual user to determine if significant damage has occurred in these structures. The technique was successfully applied to detect damage (particularly due to …

Out-of-plane behaviour of concrete block walls with unbonded reinforcement
The use of grout in conventional reinforced masonry construction increases the cost and time of construction but, when used in combination with reinforcing steel, allows walls subject to out-of-plane loads an enhanced ability to span between lateral support levels. Reinforced concrete block walls …

Seismic design and analysis of hybrid masonry with fuse connectors
Hybrid masonry is a new structural system that is composed of reinforced masonry panels within a steel frame; currently, the application of this system has been limited to low seismic regions where wind loads tend to control the design of the lateral force resisting elements. To establish a …

Development of Novel Computational Simulation Tools to Capture the Hysteretic Response and Failure of Reinforced Concrete Structures under Seismic Loads
Reinforced concrete (RC) structures constitute a significant portion of the building inventory in earthquake-prone regions of the United States. Accurate analysis tools are necessary to allow the quantitative assessment of the performance and safety offered by RC structures. Currently available …
