The influence of the pile type and the stirrup on the seismic performance was evaluated based on the results of reversed cyclic loading tests on the four prestressed high strength concrete (PHC) piles. It is indicated that the AB-type pile has the better seismic performance than the A-type pile from the results. The bearing capacity does not increase obviously with decreasing of the stirrup spacing and increasing of the stirrup diameter. The degradation of stiffness does not decrease significantly with decreasing of the stirrup spacing and increasing of the stirrup diameter. The energy dissipation capacity is improved with increasing of the stirrup diameter and decreasing of the stirrup spacing.

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.
