Explicit finite element analysis of lightly reinforced masonry shear walls

Computers and Structures, 2008
Explicit finite element analysis (FEA) of masonry shear walls containing reinforcement at spacing between 800 mm and 2000 mm, referred to as wide spaced reinforced masonry (WSRM), are modelled using macroscopic material characteristics for the ...

Shear Strength of Reinforced Masonry Walls

The Masonry Society Journal, 1996
Predicting the shear strength of reinforced masonry walls is still largely an unsolved problem. While the flexural strength of a wall can be adequately estimated with the simple flexure theory, the complex interaction of various shear mechanisms hinders the development of a simple rational method for evaluating the shear strength.

Curvature Ductility of Reinforced Masonry Walls and Reinforced Concrete Walls

2021
Research conducted in this work proposes an equation to evaluate and compares the curvature ductility of reinforced masonry (RM) and reinforced concrete (RC) walls. The curvature ductilities are measured at varying levels of axial stresses for walls for aspect ratio (l/h) of 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5.

Characterization and Reinforcement of Stone Masonry Walls

2013
Stone masonry is one of the oldest “structural materials” known to man. It is made by the superposition of stones, mortar and, very often, with infill material between leaves. The components present complex links and interactions and, in most cases, unknown geometry and high variability of their mechanical properties.

COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH OF REINFORCED CONCRETE MASONRY WALLS

2005
The strength of reinforced concrete masonry walls formed with mortared stretcher bonded concrete ‘H’ blocks, core filled with high slump grout and centrally reinforced with unrestrained reinforcement is investigated. Codes of practice consider masonry walls with unrestrained reinforcement to be unreinforced.

Fragility Analysis of Reinforced Masonry Shear Walls

Earthquake Spectra, 2012
Fragility functions have been developed to evaluate the damageability of fully grouted and partially grouted reinforced masonry shear walls subjected to in‐plane seismic loading. Six damage states are considered, representing different levels of flexure, diagonal shear, and sliding shear damage. For each damage state, two classes of fragility functions

Reinforcing Masonry Walls with Composite Materials-Model

Journal of Composite Materials, 2000
In this investigation, a procedure is developed for determining the effectiveness of composite materials in retrofitting masonry buildings to reduce seismic damage. The reinforcement considered is a thin layer of fiber-reinforced composite applied to the wall in a wallpaper-like fashion. Models were developed which predict the behavior of masonry walls

Behavior and vulnerability of reinforced masonry shear walls

2021
The overarching goal of the research presented herein was to establish the key behavior mechanisms and seismic vulnerabilities of reinforced masonry (RM) shear walls. Currently, there are knowledge gaps related to partially grouted masonry shear walls, regarding their failure mechanisms, applicability of current code provisions to PG walls, and ...

Flexural Behavior of Reinforced Masonry Shear Walls with Unbonded Reinforcement

The Masonry Society Journal, 1996
The state-of-the-art analysis of concrete masonry shear walls with vertical reinforcement subjected to in-plane lateral loads is similar to that of reinforced concrete shear walls. However, in concrete masonry shear walls reinforced with ungrouted (unbonded) steel bars, the steel strains are dependent on the deformations of the entire wall and not ...

In‐Plane Resistance of Reinforced Masonry Shear Walls

Journal of Structural Engineering, 1990
Flexural and shear strengths of reinforced masonry shear walls are examined, based on experimental results obtained from 22 6-ft. by 6-ft. masonry wall specimens. These results are summarized and current design formulae examined. It is found that the simple flexure theory based on the plane-section assumption can be applied to square wall panels with ...
