In this two-part work, seismic behavior and design of steel moment frames with masonry infills are investigated systematically. In this first part, the “infill strength ratio” (the ratio of the story shear strength of infills to the story shear strength of the bare frame) is shown to have a fundamental effect on the seismic behavior of an infilled frame. This fundamental effect is demonstrated using pushover analysis of an example steel moment frame with masonry infills in uniformly infilled and open ground story configurations. In general, infill strength ratios greater than about 0.35 are associated with progressive deterioration of seismic performance, leading to story mechanisms concentrated in the lower stories. Greater infill strength ratios can also lead to local shear failures in frame members.

This paper investigates the seismic behavior of novel stone masonry joints using ductile engineered cementitious composite (ECC) as a substitute for ordinary mortar. Ten stone masonry joints with different types of mortar/ECC were tested under axial and cyclic loads. The filling materials of mortar joints tested included ordinary mortar, polymer mortar, ECC, and composite mortar with two combination proportions of ECC and ordinary mortar. The test results indicated that ECC specimens exhibited a more stable hysteretic response as well as an improvement in strength, deformation, energy dissipation, and strength degradation. The ECC mortar joints maintained integrity during the entire loading process due to the “self-confinement” effect of ECC. A partial substitution of mortar with ECC could provide effective reinforcement and confinement to prevent mortar failure and peeling, thereby allowing such specimens to approach the seismic performance of ECC specimens. Based on the trend of shear strength variations, a corresponding failure process is defined for ECC/mortar joints under cyclic and axial compressive loads, including four distinct stages: linear elastic, crack-developing stage, interface debonding, and friction sliding. New equations are proposed for predicting the shear strength and residual shear strength of the ECC/mortar joints on the basis of the test results, which are validated in the composite mortar specimens.

The behavior of reinforced concrete walls that exhibit the shear mode of failure is studied, through the results of an experimental program that included the test of 26 full-scale specimens subjected to cyclic horizontal displacements of increasing amplitude. Test parameters were the aspect ratio of the walls, the amount of vertical and horizontal distributed reinforcement, and the compressive strength of concrete. The results include the cracking shear strength, the maximum shear strength, the drifts associated to these loads and the drift associated to a collapse limit state for each of the specimens tested. Conclusions are drawn concerning the deformation capacity, the energy absorption, the dissipation characteristics and the strength deterioration after maximum strength shown by the walls and the influence of vertical distributed reinforcement on the seismic behavior of walls.

In order to investigate the effect of ground solidification method for reducing the seismic damage of caisson type quay-wall, a series of shaking table tests in 1g gravitational field were performed in terms of the shear strength and the improvement width of ground solidification. The main conclusions obtained from this study are as follows: 1) Ground solidification behind caisson type quay-wall is effective for reducing the seismic damage of caisson type quay-wall and, however, setting backfill stones in solidified ground is not useful for the stability of quay-wall in current experimental condition for this study. 2) For solidified ground with large shear strength, the seismic behavior of quay-wall sympathizes with solidified ground as if both of solidified ground and quay-wall are a combined structure. Consequently, the seismic earth pressure from liquefied sandy ground is absorbed by solidified ground reducing the seismic earth pressure to quay-wall. 3) A formula to evaluate the sliding safety of caisson type quay-wall with solidified ground is proposed considering the cohesive component of shear strength of solidified ground. Based on the proposed formula, the improvement width for ground solidification method can be reduced from a conventional width in current design code.

This study mainly aims to investigate the effectiveness of high-ductile fiber-reinforced concrete (HDC) as a means to enhance the seismic performance of short columns. Six HDC short columns and one reinforced concrete (RC) short column were designed and tested under lateral cyclic loading. The influence of the material type (concrete or HDC), axial load, stirrup ratio, and shear span ratio on crack patterns, hysteresis behavior, shear strength, deformation capacity, energy dissipation, and stiffness degradation was presented and discussed, respectively. The test results show that the RC short column failed in brittle shear with poor energy dissipation, while using HDC to replace concrete can effectively improve the seismic behavior of the short columns. Compared with the RC short column, the shear strength of HDC specimens was improved by 12.6–30.2%, and the drift ratio and the energy dissipation increases were 56.9–88.5% and 237.7–336.7%, respectively, at the ultimate displacement. Additionally, the prediction model of the shear strength for RC columns based on GB50010-2010 (Chinese code) can be safely adopted to evaluate the shear strength of HDC short columns.
