The Seismic Performance Analysis of Brick Masonry Wall between Windows

Abstract:

To research the brick masonry wall between windows under the low cyclic load test. Combining with ABAQUS finite element software simulated the wall between windows. Analyze the destruction process, ductility and seismic performance of the wall between windows. Explore the beneficial influence on the wall between windows which under the pressure. The results of study show that the brick masonry wall between windows occurred flexural failure.With the increase of pressure, the ductility of Brick masonry wall between windows will be decreased. But the yield load, maximum bearing capacity and limit bearing capacity is improved obviously. When compared 0.3MPa,the maximum bearing capacity under 0.4MPa, 0.5MPa, 0.6MPa increased by 8.3% , 16.4% and 23.9%. The seismic performance was improved. It had good engineering significance in practice.
