砌体结构包括建筑结构的很大一部分 在美国和全世界。 配筋砌体建筑用途是 在中到高地震带增加，因为它的明显 经济性、消防安全性、建筑灵活性和易用性 建筑业。 砌体结构分析与设计的现状 设计、材料和施工技术不能使 准确预测建筑物在横向荷载下的行为， 地震荷载 该研究项目将提供初步 设计的全尺寸砌体研究结构的美国-日本 马斯帕洛马斯研究协调计划。 这是必要的， 实验与分析的整合与协调 任务与设计任务，最终用于建立一个合理的 砌体房屋结构极限状态设计方法 这 研究项目包括初步设计的发展， 研究建筑，层间抗剪承载力的估算，层间抗剪承载力的估算 层间力-位移特性的弹性和 非弹性范围，并将这些数据与实验数据相结合， 分析研究项目。

Masonry construction comprises a large portion of building construction in the U.S. and the world. Reinforced masonry construction use is increasing in moderate to higher seismic zones because of its apparent features of economy, fire safety, architectural flexibility, and ease of construction. The present state of masonry structural analysis and design and materials and construction technologies does not enable an accurate prediction of building behavior under lateral loads such as seismic loads. This research project will provide the preliminary design of the full-scale masonry research structure for the U.S.-Japan Coordinated Program for Masonry Research. This is necessary to allow integration and coordination of the experimental and the analytical tasks with the design tasks for ultimate use in establishing a rational limit state design methodology for masonry building construction. This research project includes development of the preliminary design for the research buildings, estimation of story shear capacity, estimation of interstory force-displacement characteristics in both the elastic and inelastic range, and integration of these data with the experimental and analytical research projects.
