Seismic Behavior of Two-Story Brick Masonry Building

Article Preview

Abstract:

In order to investigate the seismic behavior include hysteretic curve, skeleton curve and stiffness degradation, four masonry structures with different details are tested under pseudo-dynamic test and low cycle lateral load test. One kind of full-scale building is confined masonry with tie-column and ring-beam. Other is common brick masonry. Test results indicate that the tie-column and ring-beam play an important role for developing higher resistance and better deformability. And tie-column and ring-beam can effectively confined brick wall to improve the seismic performance of masonry structure. The stiffness degradation curves are similar. The stiffness degradation is modeled as a function of the effective stiffness and lateral displacement.
