- Abstract
Quasi-static tests on six two-story masonry buildings were carried out to study the seismic performance of masonry buildings. The paper presents the results of masonry building strengthened with RC beam-column to compare and study. The failure modes, load bearing capacity, deformability, ductility and stiffness degradation of the six models were investigated. The results show masonry buildings without tie-column and ring-beam need to be strengthened. After strengthening, the reinforced concrete column and brick wall have good interaction, as well as the RC beam and column can effectively enhance the deformability and ductility of brick masonry. Compared to tie-columns and ring-beams confined masonry structure according to the seismic requirements, the masonry building strengthened by RC beam-column can satisfy the requirements of the seismic fortification criterion.
