چکیده
• A two-dimensional mesoscale lattice modeling approach for infill walls is proposed. Two tests were conducted aerated autoclaved concrete (AAC) infilled with and without openings. Modeling was validated the test results. Infill contact length found to depend on deformation levels. Significant wall damage in reinforced frame buildings observed past earthquakes. vast number of numerical approaches have been proposed estimate non-linear behavior frames at different scales. Mesoscale models successfully used simulate member response. In this study, an extended calibration technique consistently applied response unreinforced Aerated Autoclaved Concrete masonry frames. AAC tested purposes study. The objective investigate effect wall-frame interaction openings validate approach. addition conducted, two from literature further validation. maximum error load capacity estimation simulations less than 15% all examined tests. model capable estimating crack propagation reasonable accuracy. frame-infill simulated providing a realistic representation strut formation. Finally, parametric study examine width as function lateral deformation. results show that significantly dependent demand levels properties region.

Numerical simulation for the drying shrinkage of autoclaved aerated concrete
A mathematical model for the description of drying shrinkage of autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) is presented, bringing together the hygrothermal and mechanical considerations. The verification of the model is done using an approximation of a real laboratory experiment. Then, the applicability of the model is demonstrated by a numerical simulation of drying shrinkage and wetting expansion of A...
متن کاملFibre reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete studied by computed tomography
The production process of fibre reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete results in a preferential orientation of the fibres. The fibre orientation largely influences the strength and the deformation behaviour of this building material, therefore information on the fibre orientation is highly desirable. Computed tomography measurements allow for the non destructive investigation of the material. ...
متن کاملModeling of Infilled Frames With Openings
This work concerns an assessment of the behavior of infilled frames. The feasibility of possible immediate implementation of some recent developments both in analysis and design of infilled frames for practical design is investigated. It is now widely recognized that masonry infill panels used in reinforced concrete (R/C) frame structures, significantly enhance both the stiffness and the streng...
متن کاملAssessment of Masonry Infilled Reinforced-concrete Frames with Openings
Original scientific paper Reinforced-concrete (R/C) frames infilled with masonry wall, especially with the presence of an opening, are insufficiently explored structural elements. We have experimentally investigated influence of the opening’s type and position to the lateral response of reinforced-concrete frames with masonry infill. Correction factors, that take into account influence of the o...
متن کاملAn Attempt to Reduce Materials Cost of Autoclaved Aerated Concrete Production
Background: Municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) bottom ash contains a not insignificant amount of metallic aluminum, while circulating fluidized bed combustion (CFBC) fly ash is rich in active SiO 2. To reduce the materials cost of autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) production, these two types of solid waste could theoretically be used as the aerating agent and silica source, respectively....
