Seismic Resistant Capability for Different Types of Brick-Wall Buildings in Taipei Basin

Abstract:

The buildings wall systems in Di-Hwa Street of Taipei, is quite different with the other historic area houses. In which the wall of building are made by different materials, such as earthen brick wall, stone brick wall, clay kiln brick wall, and their combination with un-regular types. The practicality of the proposed methodology is demonstrated through the Etabs software package analyzing the equivalent diagonal bracing models of each wall systems and evaluating the seismic resistant capacity of the brick wall structure. According to the analysis results, the seismic response control in displacement was observed. The seismic resistant capability of all of the brick wall structure, which were not enough to satisfied the design specification requirement according to the Ministry of Interior. also further increase the implementation of the improve devices on the displacement control of buildings is necessary.
