Experimental Study on Improving Seismic Performance of Load-Bearing Masonry Walls Made of Autoclaved Aerated Concrete

Article Preview

Abstract:

Experiments of a piece of comparable block wall and five pieces of block walls with different constructional type subjected to low reversed cyclic loading have been conducted. Investigation has been made on the failure pattern, hysteretic loop curves, displacement-restoring capacity and displacement ductility of walls. The experimental results revealed that the seismic performance of block masonry walls, which used the constructional column and concrete strips, was improved remarkably. It set a sound basis for further analysis research and engineering practice on AAC load-bearing walls in the future.
