Cyclic Loading Tests

In order to verify the feasibility of a new overallseismic reinforcement method of the framework. Firstly，carried low cyclic loading tests on reinforcedconcrete framework, then reinforced the framework with a new method, and repeatthe low cyclic loading tests , finally, compared and analyzed the data from twotests. Compared with the original framework, the shape of the hysteresis curveis more full and the skeleton curve of the parallel period is longer andthe ductility factor increased by 35% and the bearing capacity increased by 40%.The results show that reinforcement framework has better energy dissipationcapacity, ductility and transgender capacity.

Cyclic Loading Tests

In this study, we develop a base isolation device using SMA wires. Two types of SMA springs are used as softening springs, i.e. ring-type-spring (RTS) and buckling-type-spring (BTS). BTSs’ restoring forces have significant softening characteristics, which suppresses the acceleration transmissibility. Cyclic loading tests are conducted to investigate the durability of the SMA springs. The results show that they have the enough durability for seismic isolation.

Cyclic Loading Tests

Low-cyclic loading tests were carried on brick walls bonded with mud reinforced by three methods: packing belts, one-side steel-meshed cement mortar, and double-side steel-meshed cement mortar. The failure modes, hysteresis curves of the load-displacement, skeleton curves, and ductility were obtained. The results showed that the bearing capacity of the brick walls bonded with mud reinforced by the abovementioned three methods had been increased to 1.4, 1.7, and 2.2 times as much as that of the unreinforced brick walls, respectively, and the ductility of the reinforced brick walls had been increased to 4.7, 2.1 and 2.2 times, respectively. The integrity and ductility of the reinforced brick walls were effectively improved in different degrees. The experimental results provided specific seismic strengthening techniques for the farmhouses built with brick walls bonded with mud.
