Main Construction

In principle, the main construction of the non-engineered building in Indonesia is the wooden structure. It can be seen from traditional houses in Indonesia. However, In the last two centuries, the use of brick masonry as wall component has been becoming the primary material. Another side, some places in Indonesia are the seismic areas and earthquake-prone areas. Learning from the earthquake that has happened in the last ten years, the building that used clay brick for masonry wall mostly suffered damage and destruction when subjected to a relatively high intensity of the earthquake. This paper used data from several places and some references. There have significant differences in the mechanical properties of the bricks. Generally, Indonesian bricks masonry have limited capability and substantial differences in the mechanical properties when compared to another country bricks. By the considering, the Indonesian bricks masonry that has low mechanical properties, so that it is proposed to use brick masonry to non-seismic only. It should be considered to use clay brick as the main component of the wall for a particular region in Indonesia. Next, the zoning of allowed masonry structure in Indonesia is proposed.

Bending Failure

The wall between windows is the smallest,the most weakest anti-seisnic unit[. Under the action of a strong earthquake,the longitudinal window that parallel to the main direction,often produced Xshaped cracks due to lack of shear bearing capacity .But under the earthquake,masonry structure had goodsecsmic performance,large ductility,light damage and showed reversible,easy to repair[ and so on. Given the advantages of bending failure of the above, Professor Zhang Wenfang has proposed a new earthquake mitigation technologies in the literature [. This model avoids the whole cross-section brittle shear slip, and has good ductility after yielding. Therefore, this paper combines the free shear failure of masonry structures seismic test specimen design. And it can simulate the window wall W-1 with 10mm isolated seam,the wall W-2 between windows and the ordinary wall W-3.Compared their damage morphology and mechanical characteristics in the vertical load and horizontal loads, some useful can be got and become the basis for teoretical analysis and engineer design of masonry structures for the future.
