Lateral Bracing with Hybrid Masonry—System Overview
Hybrid masonry utilizes reinforced masonry, most commonly concrete masonry, in combination with structural steel framing to form a load-sharing structural system. The masonry serves as both wall enclosure and lateral bracing. Options exist for the masonry to participate structurally with the frame to carry both the gravity and lateral loads. The steel framing utilizes simple connections but can also be designed with moment connections. Currently in use primarily for low to mid -rise buildings in seismic design categories A, B, and C, the system is being researched for higher seismic categories. Derived from several historical systems such as confined masonry and transitional building construction, this system offers an efficient use of both the steel framing and masonry. The load-sharing performance of the system is a function of the confinement of the masonry within the steel framing. The load-sharing aspects also offer a design option for progressive collapse. This paper will explain the system and the load-sharing aspects, and describes the three types of hybrid masonry.
