Flexural behavior of rubberized concrete interlocking masonry walls under out-of-plane load

Construction and Building Materials, 2020
Waste and industrial by-products, such as crumb rubber and fly ash, are being utilized as raw materials for making various masonry products. Rubberized concrete interlocking brick (RIB) is a newly developed product incorporated 10% crumb rubber, as a ...

Comparative experimental analysis on the in-plane shear performance of brick masonry walls strengthened with different fiber reinforced materials

, 2020
Masonry structures are very vulnerable during earthquakes, and masonry walls, as the main load-bearing members, are susceptible to in-plane shear generated by earthquakes.

Experimental study on axial compressive behavior of rubberized interlocking masonry walls

Journal of Building Engineering, 2020
The behavior of rubberized interlocking masonry walls is substantially influenced by the properties of the waste materials used, which makes them behave differently from conventional interlocking masonry systems. Ten each of hollow and grouted walls were

In-plane seismic behavior of autoclaved aerated concrete block masonry walls retrofitted with high ductile fiber-reinforced concrete

, 2020
Owing to the absence of confined columns, unreinforced masonry (URM) walls are seismically vulnerable during an earthquake. Hence, this study aims to improve the seismic performances of URM walls built with autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) blocks ...

Fire Behavior of Masonry Walls

Recent Patents on Mechanical Engineeringe, 2009
A coupled hydro-thermal model is developed to study the phase-change process within partially saturated porous media. During the heating process (up to 1100°C), the increase of temperature in the medium is characterized by a plateau at a boiling point (around 100°C) revealing the energy absorption due to phase-change (liquid-vapor). In order to analyze

In-plane cyclic loading tests of concrete hollow block masonry walls retrofitted with high ductile fiber-reinforced concrete

, 2020
When subjected to horizontal loading induced by an earthquake, concrete block masonry walls generally exhibit vulnerability, particularly under high shear force.

Interaction of masonry walls and shear walls in masonry buildings

Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers - Structures and Buildings, 2018
In most seismic regions of the world, many unreinforced masonry buildings have been constructed for different uses, including schools. Statistical analyses showed that 90% of schools on the retrofitting list in Iran are unreinforced masonry buildings. The addition of shear walls is a frequently used retrofitting method in these buildings.

Out-of-plane response of ECC-strengthened masonry walls

, 2020
This paper focuses on the flexural behavior of masonry walls strengthened with precast engineered cementitious composite (ECC) sheet. The walls were subjected to out-of-plane static loading and analyzed using ABAQUS.

Experimental response of masonry walls in-plane loading strengthened with GFRP strips

, 2020
In Italian seismic areas brickwork or stone masonry walls are commonly present in historic buildings. In recent years, the strengthening of masonry walls with external bonded (EB) fibre reinforced polymers (FRPs) has been increased to improve the tensile
