چکیده
Abstract Two full-scale building specimens were tested on the shake-table at EUCENTRE Foundation laboratories in Pavia (Italy), to assess effectiveness of an innovative timber retrofit solution, within a comprehensive research campaign seismic vulnerability existing Dutch unreinforced masonry structures. The buildings represented end-unit two-storey terraced house typical North-Eastern Netherlands, region affected by induced seismicity over last few decades. This typology is particularly vulnerable earthquake excitation due lack details and irregular distribution large openings walls. Both built with same geometry. Their structural system consisted cavity walls, interior load-bearing calcium-silicate leaf exterior clay veneer, included first-floor reinforced concrete slab, second-floor framing, roof structure supported gables. A was designed installed inside second specimen, providing sustainable, light-weight, reversible, cost-effective technique, which could be extensively applied actual buildings. Timber frames connected surface walls completed oriented strands boards nailed them. diaphragm stiffened strengthened layer oriented-strand boards, joists additional blocking elements through planks. These interventions resulted also improved wall-to-diaphragm connections inner both floors, while steel ties added between cavity-wall leaves. application favored global response increased lateral capacities paper describes detail bare retrofitted specimens, compares experimental results obtained similar incremental dynamic test protocols up near-collapse conditions, identifies damage states limits associated displacements deformations.

15 صفحه اولan investigation on the analytic hierarchy process (ahp): optimum rehabilitation process of the unreinforced masonry buildings
nowadays, distinctive methods are used in evaluation of the criteria in order to making decision. among them the analytic hierarchy process (ahp) is one of the most efficient. due to the seismicity of the vast majority part of the country and also the existence of the large number of the unreinforced masonry buildings, the application of the ahp method in order to reach to the best alternative ...
متن کاملFlexural Tension in Unreinforced Masonry
Unreinforced masonry is that in which the tensile strength of the masonry is taken into consideration in design. Allowable out-of-plane tensile stress values are a function of the mortar type, such as Portland cement/lime mortar vs. masonry cement mortar or type M or S mortar vs. type N mortar. The allowable tensile stress is also a function of the masonry construction, such as tension parallel...
متن کاملEffective stiffness of unreinforced brick masonry walls
Code design of Unreinforced Masonry (URM) buildings is based on elastic analysis, which requires as input parameter the effective stiffness of URM walls. Current approaches estimate the effective stiffness as fixed ratio of the gross sectional stiffness but comparisons with experimental results have shown that this does not yield satisfactory predictions. In this paper, a recently developed ana...
متن کاملMasonry Type Retrofit Applications
A mechanical device especially designed for the application of low-level posttensioning forces to glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) bars was developed at the University of Missouri-Rolla. Some of the advantageous features of this device are that it is simple to assemble and the low-level post-tensioning forces can be applied manually and safely without the need for hydraulic jacks or heavy ...
