Performance Evaluation of a Reinforced Masonry Model and an Unreinforced Masonry Model Using a Shake Table Testing Facility
This paper presents behavior of both unreinforced masonry and reinforced masonry (RM) building models subjected to dynamic loading with the help of shake table testing facility. The first masonry model was a half-scale conventional unreinforced masonry model. The second model was strengthened with welded wire mesh (WWM) and coarse sand mortar. Both the models were subjected to several ground motions. It was observed that the strengthened model performed much better than the unstrengthened model and there was no damage in the strengthened model. In this paper, the observation of the test results and the influence of strengthening in terms of damage intensity and failure pattern have been presented.
