Seismic Experimental Study on Masonry Structure Strengthened by Ring-Beam and Constructional Column

A full scale masonry model of two-floor and single bay was built in this paper and was strengthened by ring-beam and constructional column. And then pseudo-dynamic testing was conducted to study the time-history curves of displacement, velocity, acceleration response and restoring force in 7 degree rarely earthquake. Results show that the earthquake performance is steady and there are no visible cracks on the model after the testing. Windows and doors perform well because of the constraint of ring-beam and column, whereas failures often occurred when the structures were not strengthened. Seismic performance is largely improved by ring-beam and constructional column and the structure can resist 7 degree rarely earthquake.

The Finite Element Analysis on Seismic Performance of Ring Beam and Constructional Column with Different Storey in Masonry Building

The masonry building takes a majority of town housings in these areas. Unlike the experimental study, the Finite Element Analysis is an important part for better comprehension of the finite element method and can reduce the investment and manpower. The aim of this paper is to simulate the structural response from the variety of masonry buildings under earthquake excitations by using finite element software called ABAQUS. There are four models of the masonry building with different storey, which include the one without constructional column and ring beam, with constructional column only, with ring beam only and with constructional column and ring beam simultaneously. In the process of modeling, we adopt the integrated model and regard walls, constructional columns, slabs and steels as homogenous continuums. Furthermore, we adopt concrete damaged plasticity material model to simulate the material of building and input El Centro earthquake wave N-S component. The result of analysis shows that setting ring beams or constructional columns can significantly improve the integrity of the building and reduce the mises stress on foundation. The result of analysis has a significant guidance on masonry building construction in seismic region.

Experimental Study on Improving Seismic Performance of Load-Bearing Masonry Walls Made of Autoclaved Aerated Concrete

Experiments of a piece of comparable block wall and five pieces of block walls with different constructional type subjected to low reversed cyclic loading have been conducted. Investigation has been made on the failure pattern, hysteretic loop curves, displacement-restoring capacity and displacement ductility of walls. The experimental results revealed that the seismic performance of block masonry walls, which used the constructional column and concrete strips, was improved remarkably. It set a sound basis for further analysis research and engineering practice on AAC load-bearing walls in the future.

New Isolation Technology of Rural Buildings

China is a large agricultural nation where most of the population and national economy is concentrated in rural areas. At the meantime, our country is a seismic country where earthquakes frequently take place. The earthquake disaster of Wenchuan in 2008 seemed that it always cost a great damage in rural areas. According to the present situation, a new type of seismic practical technology called steel-asphalt composite isolation lay is put forward with the characteristics of economic, simple and reliable. In order to test the effect of the new isolation layer, we have built a new house in use of the isolation layer nearby the rural areas in Changsha, beside the shaking table experiment in laboratory. The practical engineering in masonry structure has three floors and a basement. After the structure of the house had been finished, we tested the isolation effectiveness of the house. The results showed that the isolation layer can decay the acceleration about 40% and the isolation effectiveness is very well. Therefore, the seismic grade of the super structure can be reduced. So we took use of the High Performance Ferrocement Laminate as the ring beam and constructional column instead of the reinforced concrete. The cost of the upper structure can be reduced. And the money can be taken used on the building of the isolation layer. Therefore the whole cost of the structure didn’t increased.

Discussion of Different Methods of Strengthening Masonry Walls with Constructional Column

With the rapid development of economy and the civil engineering discipline, the seismic performance of existing masonry wall can't satisfy the codes and regional seismic requirements. As a result, strengthening the earthquake resistance of it is put on the agenda. Using large-scale finite element software-abaqus, this paper analyzes different methods of strengthening masonry walls by constructional columns. Under the premise of the cross area of the columns used to reinforce is identical, it shows that the wall strengthened by bilateral constructional columns has a better seismic performance than by unilateral constructional column. The ductility coefficient of the former increases 49.4% than the original masonry, while the latter increases 26.3%. The bilateral constructional column could significantly improve the integrity and ductility of the masonry wall, so does the seismic performance. It has engineering sense for the strengthening work.
