Reinforced Effect on Brick Wall Using Timber Wall as a Retrofitting Method

The purpose of this study is to utilize timber material enhance the in-plane shear strength and deformation capacity a brick wall. proposed strengthening method light-weight easy assemble includes frame, plywood panel, M12 threaded rod with chemical epoxy, hold-down anchor. To evaluate effectiveness reinforced wall, three walls were tested under cyclic horizontal load static compression stress: wall (BW wall), (BW-T anchor (BW-TA wall). prediction Kamiya Inayama Murakami models assessed BW-TA rocking was caused by failure BW BW-T walls. However, because failed in lowest part retained original shape When diagonal on failed, at maximum increased 22%, drift angle calculated from measurement 4.6 times.
