brittle nature of masonry infilled wall and the wrong connection with the main structure , resulted in the destruction phenomenon in the earthquake . Based on the destruction phenomenon ,this paper analysis the Earthquake damage of masonry infilled wall , according to code for seismic design of buildings (GB50011—2001) and code for seismic design of masonry structures (GB50003—2011) , some seismic fortification measures were proposed in this paper aimming to improve seismic capability of infilled wall, thereby alleviate loss caused by earthquake.

Construction Practice

The 1975 Turkish code provisions are first reviewed to provide the background for design and detailing of structures prior to the earthquake. The performance of reinforced concrete and masonry structures is described indicating many of the deficiencies in design, detailing, and construction execution. The behaviour of precast concrete structures, steel structures, and industrial facilities is also presented. The provisions of the 1997 Turkish building code are summarized and a description of new construction provides evidence of both excellent and poor construction practice. Some examples of retrofitting of damaged structures soon after the earthquake are also presented.Key words: seismic design, earthquake, Kocaeli, structures, codes, concrete, precast concrete.

This paper traces the development of seismic structural design in New Zealand since the 1931 Hawke’s Bay Earthquake, with emphasis on reinforced concrete buildings. From the mainly rigid and brittle unreinforced masonry structures which behaved so poorly in the 1931 earthquake through the development of flexible ductile seismic design and base (seismic) isolation of the 60’s to 80’s to today where the structural engineer is expected to design and construct a building which will not only remain standing with little damage but will be operational a short time after the major earthquake. In some ways the structural design aims and objectives have turned full circle in the intervening 75 years. We have gone from brittle rigid structures through a period where flexibility was paramount to now where flexibility is limited and greater lateral stiffnesses are required, but with ductile elements in the structure. This paper traces the efforts of New Zealand’s pre-eminent structural engineers and scientists to make seismic design techniques world leading. In most facets they have been successful (in my view) but as I will say more than once, only time will tell!

Ductility Capacity

Background to seismic design aspects of the provisional New Zealand Code of Practice for Masonry Structural Design is given. Emphasis is given to reasons for differences in the provisional code from an earlier draft code. The changes include improved compatibility with the current Loadings Code NZS 4203 and the Concrete Design Code NZS 3101, provisions of simplified rules to ensure adequate ductility capacity, and additional information to provide guidance for ductile design of masonry frames. Some experimental results are presented to provide support for the provisions.

The failure criteria and calculating methods of static and seismic shear strength of masonry under combined shear-compression action have been researched in this paper. According to the least energy consumption principle and the failure criteria of orthogonal anisotropic materials, the correlated formulae of masonry under combined shear-compression action are established. The correlated formulae are in good agreement with experimental results. On this basis, the calculation formulae of the static and seismic shear strength are established. The calculation formulae uniformly use the axial compression ratio as main variable to express. By analyzing examples, it shows that calculations by formulae given in this paper are in accordance with values of "Code for design of masonry structures" (GB 50003-2011) and "Code for seismic design of buildings" (GB 50011-2010). The methods in this paper may provide important references to engineering design as well as code revision.
