Shaking Table Study of Single-Story Masonry Houses. Volume 3: Summary, Conclusions, and Recommendations
A summary, conclusions, and recommendations are reported from an experimental investigation aimed at determining reinforcement requirements for single - story masonry dwellings in Uniform Building Code Seismic Zone 2 areas of the United States. The study tested four masonry houses with unreinforced and partially reinforced wall panels, assembled to form 16 - feet square models of typical masonry houses. Masonry units used in the construction of all test structures were full sized. Units were then subjected to earthquake conditions likely to occur in the zone areas. No cracking was observed in any major unreinforced wall unit for tests with peak accelerations less than 0.2 g. Unreinforced out - of - plane walls continued to perform satisfactorily after cracking for several tests of increased intensity. Nearly all partially reinforced wall units performed satisfactorily in all tests. Partially reinforced inplane walls also performed satisfactorily, although they developed some cracks when peak acceleratis exceeded 0.3 g. For Zone 2A, no reinforcement is required for earthquake resistance in single - story residential buildings of standard clay brick or concrete block construction, provided the ratio of shear wall length to roof load is similar to that included in the tests. Single - story houses of clay brick or concrete block construction build in Zone 2B must be partially reinforced. Tabular and graphic data are provided along with five references and diagrams.
