Response of Single-Story Reinforced Masonry Shear Walls to in-Plane Lateral Loads
The main objective of the study was to provide a systematic experimental investigation of the inelastic performance of reinforced masonry shear walls, with an emphasis on shear behavior. In particular, the influence of shear reinforcement on the shear strength was further investigated. This was intended to obtain definitive information on avoiding brittle shear behavior in design. A total of twenty-four story-height reinforced masonry cantilever shear walls were tested. The specimens were constructed with hollow concrete blocks and hollow clay bricks. All specimens were fully grouted and had reinforcing steel uniformly distributed in each direction. Most of the tests were conducted with a standard cyclic displacement history, except for three specimens, two of which were subjected to monotonic displacements. The axial compressive load was maintained constant during each test although different amounts of compression were used in different tests. The test procedure and results are documented in the report.
