Sequential Displacement Method for Multi-Story In-Plane Reinforced Hollow Unit Masonry Walls Under Simulated SeismicExcitations

该研究项目将进行综合实验和 对简单部件、主要部件和 最后是一座完整的多层砖石建筑（Massimo Research 建筑物）。 这些研究将使用小型、中型和 全尺寸标本。 研究的目的是发展 一个可靠的方法来研究平面内的行为， 多层钢筋空心砌块砌体墙构件 都会受到地震的影响 重点将放在 实验方法的发展，将被用作一个 研究足尺砌体结构抗震性能的基础 研究大楼。 两层和三层平面内墙的结果 将使用测试来验证其他人开发的分析模型。

This research project will conduct integrated experimental and analytical studies on simple components, main subassemblages, and finally a complete multistory masonry building (Masonry Research Building). These studies will be conducted using small, medium, and full scale specimens. The objective of the studies is the development of a reliable methodology for investigating the in-plane behavior of multistory reinforced hollow unit masonry wall elements when a building is subjected to earthquake ground motions. Emphasis will be given to the development of the experimental methodology which will be used as a basis for studying the earthquake behavior of the full scale Masonry Research Building. Results from the two and three story in-plane wall tests will be used to verify the analytical models developed by others.
