Experimental Study for Seismic Performance of Confined Masonry Structure

Abstract:

A two-story masonry housing model was made in this paper. According to Intensity 7, adjusted Northridge record was selected to be the ground motion input in the pseudo-dynamic test. Pseudo-dynamic test and pseudo-static test were carried out to investigate the seismic behavior of the model structure. The time-history curves of the acceleration, velocity, displacement and restoring force of the structural response were obtained besides the time-history curves of the measuring points of the structure. Also the steel strain of the tie-columns and the hysteresis loops of the structure were obtained. The result shows multi-story confined masonry structures possess superior seismic performance if coordinated with the provision specified in the current compulsory design code and it can continue to use after appropriate dressing under the rarely earthquake.
