Abstract:

Masonry arch bridges have played a significant role in the road and rail transportation network in the world for centuries. They are exposed to damage due to overloading and deterioration caused by environmental actions. In order to reestablish their performance and to prevent their collapse in various hazardous conditions, many of them require strengthening. Fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) systems are increasingly used for repair and strengthening of structures, with particularly widespread application to concrete structures. However, the application of FRP composites to masonry structures is

Abstract:

Wide spaced reinforced masonry (WSRM) walls that contain vertical reinforced cores at horizontal spacing up to 2000mm are commonly used in high wind zones of Australia although their inplane shear resistance is not well understood. This thesis aims at providing better insight into the behaviour of WSRM walls subjected to inplane lateral loading through experimental and numerical investigations. The interactions between the unreinforced masonry (URM) panels and vertical reinforced cores are first determined using an elastic finite element analysis and the potential failure paths hypothesized.

A confined masonry (CM) wall consists of a masonry wall panel surrounded by reinforced concrete (RC) members on its perimeters. Low-rise CM structures are widely used in earthquake-risked (EQ-risked) rural or suburban areas all over the world. Most of these structures fail in shear pattern under lateral EQ loads, and some of them collapse under a severe or even a moderate EQ due to inappropriate design. On the other hand, buildings constructed of RC frames have much better performance in resisting EQs, since their RC members have larger dimensions and heavier reinforcing ratios than those in C

Over 90% of the land area of Turkey lies over one of the most active seismic zones in the world. Hazardous earthquakes frequently occur and cause heavy damage to the economy of the country as well as human lives. Unfortunately, the majority of buildings in Turkey do not have enough seismic resistance capacity. The most commonly observed problems are faulty system configuration, insufficient lateral stiffness, improper detailing, poor material quality and mistakes during construction.

Reinforced masonry (RM) shear walls are a common lateral load-resisting system for building structures. The seismic design guidelines for such systems are based on relatively limited experimental data. Given the restrictions imposed by the capabilities of available experimental equipment, analytical modeling is the only means to conduct systematic parametric studies for prototype RM wall systems and quantify the seismic safety offered by current design standards. A number of modeling approaches, with varying levels of complexity, have been used for the analysis of reinforced concrete (RC) and

Seismic design provisions in the Canadian Masonry Code often lead to indications that the governing yield mechanism for a reinforced masonry wall with a height/length (H/L) ratio below 1.0 and under low axial loads will not achieve the design objective of a flexural yield mechanism and instead, will develop a sliding shear mechanism. In addition to this, results of previous experimental research studies indicate that even for squat walls that yield in flexure, the displacements at the top are the result of both flexure and sliding shear mechanisms.

Abstract:

Unreinforced masonry (URM) walls are commonly found in existing and heritage buildings in Canada, either as infill or load-bearing walls. Such walls are vulnerable to sudden and brittle failure under blast loads due to their insufficient out-of-plane strength. The failure of such walls under blast pressures can also result in fragmentation and wall debris which can injure building occupants. Over the years, researchers have conducted experimental tests to evaluate the structural behaviour of unreinforced masonry walls under out-of-plane loading.

Located on one of the highly active seismic fault systems in the world, the building stock in Turkey is mainly composed of reinforced concrete frames with 4-5 stories.

For many structures, there is a need to alleviate these deficiencies by means of some rehabilitation techniques prior to earthquakes. One approach also used very widely in Turkey is to fill some of the frame bays by cast-in-place R/C pane

This type of loading may come from different sources , including seismic or blast events. When subjected to blast, wall elements experience large pressures on one of their faces due to the high pressure produced in the air when an explosion takes place. This wave of compressed air t

As a result, the section at the base of these columns is unconfined and susceptible to shear failure or to a premature failure of the lap splices before yielding of the longitudinal bars.

Abstract:

This research project involved the testing of a reinforced concrete masonry wall founded on a Ribraft floor. The masonry wall was C shaped in plan, 9Am long, 204m high, with 2.5m long returns at each end. 20 series blocks were used in construction, with D12 bars placed vertically at 800mm centres. A 400mm high x 190mm wide bond-beam was located in the top two courses of the wall, with 1-D16 bar placed horizontally in each course. The Ribraft floor was a 9Am wide x 3.6m long waffle slab, and was 305mm deep, with a 300mm wide ring-beam. The wall was loaded in the out-of-plane direction using air

Abstract:

In recent years great advances have taken place in the use of masonry in building construction. Where as the number of storeys has increased substantially, the thickness of the wall has decreased. An important factor in the development of masonry structures was the introduction of the concrete block in the early 1900's. This added a new dimension to the construction and design of masonry structures. Greater flexibility was provided by the use of hollow filled and solid blocks utilising different colours, shapes and texture for interior and exterior masonry elements. The use of hollow blocks pr

Abstract:

Reinforced concrete block masonry shear walls (RMSWs) often constitute the principal seismic force resisting system in masonry structures in Canada. During an earthquake, these walls experience the combined effects of axial gravity loading and overturning moments due to inplane lateral seismic forces. This loading precipitates out-of-plane instability when the longitudinal reinforcement in the wall end zones is subjected to cycles of high tensile strain followed by compression. The Canadian masonry design standard (CSA S304.1-04) [Canadian Standard Association 2004] stipulates stringent

Abstract:

The main goal of CIC-BREL project (Cracked and Inelastic Calculation of BRacing Elements) is to develop an analytical method to distribute horizontal forces on bracing elements, in this case reinforced masonry shear walls, of a building considering the cracked and inelastic state of material. The moment curvature curve of the wall section is created first depending on the section geometry and material properties of both the masonry units and steel reinforcement. This curve will start with an elastic material behavior, then continue in inelastic material behavior where the masonry crushes and
