Preliminary Phase

The paper describes the preliminary phase of an experimental investigation into the behaviour of reinforced masonry shear wall elements subjected to high speed cyclic loading. The three specimens tested in the preliminary phase were full scale wall panels about 4 meters square, each consisting of two piers connected by a top and bottom spandrel; each panel was made from a different material. The results of the tests on the three specimens are presented in the form of dynamic force deflection relationships. The test equipment designed for the program is described in detail, and the next phase of the test program is outlined.

Displacement Based Seismic Design

In this paper, a displacement-based seismic design procedure is presented for reinforced masonry shear-wall structures, with the objective of being more consistent, transparent, and practical than current force-based seismic design procedures. The procedure anticipates the formation of a plastic mechanism at specified target displacements, calculates the local deformation demands associated with that mechanism, and ensures that those local deformation demands remain below deformation capacities for flexure-dominated and shear-dominated wall segments. Guidelines to determine the target displacements and effective damping properties for reinforced masonry wall structures are provided. The proposed procedure and guidelines are used in a trial application to design a full-scale, two-story reinforced masonry shear-wall system.

Pseudodynamic Testing

The study of this paper focuses on the seismic performance of a new complex tall building-FSRMW (frame-supported-reinforced-masonry-shear-wall).The new structure combines the advantages of RMW (reinforced-masonry-shear-wall) and FSRCW (frame-supported- reinforced- concrete-shear-wall) and have good economic value and extensive use value.Big space can be gained by using the structure, which provide a new appropriate selection for the design of hotel, multifunctional office building and dwelling house with shop at bottom. Substructure pseudodynamic testing were adopted to carrying out the seismic testing of 1:4 Reduced-scale models of FSRMW.Seismic evaluation of this structure has been carried out by substructure pseudodynamic testing of 1/4-scale specimen.The dynamic response of the tested structure under the influence of earthquake excitation is analyzed.The horizontal bearing capacity and the damage degree of the test model are investigated. The testing are cited to illustrate that the seismic performance of the structure(frame-shear-wall-supported reinforced masonry shear wall) is better than that structure(frame- supported reinforced masonry shear wall) and can be satisfied with the design request of 6-8 degree seismic zone.
