Pseudo-Dynamic Test of Brick Masonry under Different Earthquake Motion

Abstract:

For further study on the influence of ground motion on the seismic performance of brick masonry structure, two masonry buildings were designed and constructed according to common structure style in towns and villages. Two full-scale buildings were subjected to different earthquake motion using pseudo-dynamic test. The earthquake motions are artificial earthquake motion and strong motion recording. This paper presents hysteretic behavior and deformation under horizontal seismic action. Crack propagation of masonry structure is analyzed. These tests verify that displacement response of masonry structures under different ground motion is pretty much the same. Tie-column and ring-beam can effectively confined brick wall. The cracks are mostly diagonal cracks caused by shear failure.
