This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation into the strength and level of ductile performance of two reinforced concrete masonry columns and one reinforced clay brick column by Singh [1993]. The results show that strength of reinforced concrete and clay masonry can be predicted by using full cross-section dimensions. Columns constructed from concrete masonry behave in a ductile manner but clay masonry columns behave in a very limited ductile manner.

The pseudo-static tests of two “T” cross-section samples were carried out to study the shear performance of reinforced block short-leg masonry shear wall (RBSMSW), under constant vertical loading. Crack propagation and failure pattern, bearing capacity, load-deformation relationship and energy-dissipation capability were studied, which it identified the parameter values in this experiment and validated the corresponding formulas that can be used in practical design. Also, experimental analysis verifies that both failure mode and ductility of RBSMSW are similar to those of the reinforced concrete short-leg shear wall (RCSSW).

This paper analyzes the over-reinforcement of coupling beam in high-rise building structure design and proposes the relevant treatment methods and suggestions to provide references for designers. Coupling beam is a beam that is used to connect between wall limbs or wall limbs and frame columns in shear wall structures and frame – shear wall structures. A coupling beam generally has the features of small span, large cross section and high stiffness of the wall connected to it.

In this study, two reinforced concrete (RC) squat shear walls with height-to-length ratio of 0.55 and non-ductile reinforcement details are tested under reversed cyclic loading. Emphasis of the study is placed on the hysteretic behavior and cracking procedure of RC squat shear walls in accordance with the presence and absence of vertical seam on the wall panel. Two specimens had the same rectangular cross-section of 1,100 x 50mm, with wall panel heights of 600mm. To investigate the effect of vertical seams on the wall panel on the structural behavior of shear wall, one wall (CON-S) with three vertical seams with dimension of 260 x 40mm was made and the other (CON-N) was a solid wall without seams. The test results indicated that a squat shear wall with vertical seams exhibited more stable hysteretic behavior than a solid shear wall. Vertical seams on the wall panel improve the ductility and energy dissipation capacity but decrease the maximum strength of RC non-ductile squat shear wall.
