Retrofit of Un-Reinforced Infill Masonry Walls with FRP
This paper describes an experimental program that deals with retrofitting of infill un-reinforced masonry walls (URM) with Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP). The primary objective of this research is to develop a retrofit strategy that while economical will minimize the influence of the retrofit on the overall performance of structural frames in predominant seismic regions. Allowing some damage to...
متن کاملFuzzy Fragility Analysis of Structures with Masonry Infill Walls
In this work fragility analysis of reinforced concrete and steel structures withinfill walls is performed.For this purpose a fuzzy-based fragility assessment framework for evaluating 3D framed structures is proposed taking into account various sources of uncertainty. In particular, randomness on the material properties and on the seismic demand is considered. The proposed framework requires the...
متن کاملModeling of FRP-Strengthened Infill Masonry Structures
This paper presents an analytical approach to describe the behavior and mode of failure of infill masonry structures strengthened with fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) materials. The approach is used to simulate the response of strengthened infill masonry walls under the effect of out-of-plane uniformly distributed pressure simulating wind pressure. The approach includes a finite element analysis...
متن کاملEffect of Unreinforced Masonry Infill Walls on Seismic Performance of Reinforced Concrete Framed Structures
Unreinforced Masonry infill walls (URM) are commonly used in the Reinforced Concrete (RC) framed structures as interiors and exteriors partition walls. Although they usually are not considered in the structural analysis and design, their influence on the seismic performance of the framed structures is significant. A common practice in the modern and old RC buildings is to remove the URM walls i...
متن کاملMasonry Infill Walls under Blast Loading Using Confined Underwater Blast Wave Generators (wbwg)
The vulnerability of the masonry envelop under blast loading is considered critical due to the risk of loss of lives. The dynamic behaviour of masonry infill walls subjected to dynamic out-of-plane loading was experimentally investigated in this work. Using confined underwater blast wave generators (WBWG), applying the extremely high rate conversion of the explosive detonation energy into the k...
