Cyclic Loading Tests

An experimental analysis on a set of strengthened masonry walls has been carried out by means of cyclic loading tests in order to simulate the creep effects. The damage evolution of specimens reinforced by traditional or innovative methods is evaluated by the Acoustic Emission (AE) technique. The AE time dependence during fracture propagation is analysed through a power law. In addition, the AE frequency analysis is used to obtain information on the criticality of the ongoing process.

This paper summarises the results obtained from testing 18 reinforced masonry wall panels under racking load. The programme included tests on both RBM and Hollow Cell types of brick construction under slow cyclic loading. It is shown that satisfactory ductility can be obtained from brick masonry walls if sufficient horizontal steel is provided to carry the full shear load, and if the critical compression zones at the bottom corners of the wall are confined by the use of thin reinforcing plates in the bottom few mortar courses. Without these precautions severe load degradation occurs under successive load reversals.
