Book Synopsis Earthquake-resistant Design Of Masonry Buildings by : Miha Tomazevic
Download or read book Earthquake-resistant Design Of Masonry Buildings written by Miha Tomazevic and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 1999-07-05 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the last few decades, a considerable amount of experimental and analytical research on the seismic behaviour of masonry walls and buildings has been carried out. The investigations resulted in the development of methods for seismic analysis and design, as well as new technologies and construction systems. After many centuries of traditional use and decades of allowable stress design, clear concepts for limit state verification of masonry buildings under earthquake loading have recently been introduced in codes of practice.Although this book is not a review of the state-of-the-art of masonry structures in earthquake zones, an attempt has been made to balance the discussion on recent code requirements, state-of-the-art methods of earthquake-resistant design and the author's research work, in order to render the book useful for a broader application in design practice. An attempt has also been made to present, in a condensed but easy to understand way, all the information needed for earthquake-resistant design of masonry buildings constructed using traditional systems. The basic concepts of limit state verification are presented and equations for seismic resistance verification of masonry walls of all types of construction, (unreinforced, confined and reinforced) as well as masonry-infilled reinforced concrete frames, are addressed. A method for seismic resistance verification, compatible with recent code requirements, is also discussed. In all cases, experimental results are used to explain the proposed methods and equations.An important part of this book is dedicated to the discussion of the problems of repair, retrofit and rehabilitation of existing masonry buildings, including historical structures in urban centres. Methods of strengthening masonry walls as well as improving the structural integrity of existing buildings are described in detail. Wherever possible, experimental evidence regarding the effectiveness of the proposed strengthening methods is given.

Book Synopsis Masonry Construction in Active Seismic Regions by : Rajesh Rupakhety
Download or read book Masonry Construction in Active Seismic Regions written by Rajesh Rupakhety and published by Woodhead Publishing. This book was released on 2021-05-12 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During earthquakes, masonry buildings are the most affected, and consequently, damage to these buildings leads to massive loss of life and property. Masonry buildings comprise probably the greatest share of overall housing stock, and in turn, understanding their performance during earthquakes is a pivotal problem in seismic regions. Masonry Construction in Active Seismic Regions presents details on the kinds of masonry building found in seismic regions of the world. The title describes interventions, such as retrofitted solutions, dynamic identification, and improved construction after earthquakes, that are equally applicable to regions of moderate and high seismicity. The book covers representative masonry buildings from active seismic regions, the material properties of masonry construction, numerical modelling techniques and computational advances, seismic performance of non-engineered masonry buildings, resilience in typical construction, retrofitting, and the cultural values and structural characterization of heritage masonry buildings in active seismic regions. This book is unique in its global and systematic coverage of masonry construction in seismic regions. - Identifies the material properties of masonry construction from a seismic perspective - Covers representative masonry buildings from active seismic regions, providing a benchmark to understand existing building stocks - Provides numerical modelling techniques and reviews computational advances, including a large test database - Details the seismic performance of non-engineered masonry buildings, as well as the cultural values and structural characterisation of heritage masonry constructions - Analyses typical or vernacular constructions which have earthquake resilient features, such as Dhajji-Dewari, Borbone, Pombalino, and Himis

Book excerpt: Raziskali smo obnašanje modela trinadstropne nearmirane zidane zgradbe, katere konstrukcijski sistem so sestavljali zidovi in vmesni zid v obliki križa na sredini tlorisa. Model smo preiskali na potresni mizi s potresnim vzbujanjem, ki so ga v elastičnem območju predstavljali umetni potresi šibke intenzitete, v neelastičnem območju pa zapisi pomikov tal med dejanskim močnim potresom. Primerjava obnašanja nearmiranega modela z obnašanjem predhodno preiskanega armiranega modela kaže na velik vpliv armature: medtem, ko je armirani model vzdržal nekaj zaporednih močnih potresov, ne da bi se porušil, so poškodbe pri armiranem modelu nastale že pri vzbujanju s šibko jakostjo, pri vzbujanju z zmerno do močno jakostjo pa se je model močno poškodoval oz. porušil.

Book Synopsis Behaviour of Masonry Wall at Corners Under Earthquake by : Nitin Bansal
Download or read book Behaviour of Masonry Wall at Corners Under Earthquake written by Nitin Bansal and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2020-02-13 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Building structures using masonry is one of the most widely adopted construction practices. However, its seismic performance in earthquake prone regions is a major concern. Majority of the research work which has been carried out for studying the failure pattern of masonry, either targets in-plane failure or out-of-plane failure of walls. However, various survey reports on the damage caused by earthquakes mention about failure of the corner walls of masonry structures such as those situated at the end of a row of structures, in a peculiar manner. Failure in such walls is characterized by the simultaneous overturning of a portion of orthogonal walls which is possible only if lateral loads act along the corners, implying each corner wall is subjected to bidirectional loading. Since the literature addressing such failure, are limited, therefore this study has been carried out to explore the reasons leading to corner failure of masonry structures.In this study, in order to examine the failure pattern at corner in dry masonry structures, finite element (FE) technique was adopted. Various masonry models with varying vertical load were subjected to dynamic loading along the corner to observe their combined effect on failure pattern. This analysis showed the pattern of propagation of crack through the bed joint along under varying dead load conditions. Since it is not possible to perform FE analysis for all the masonry structures, mathematical relations were derived to calculate the limiting acceleration at which corner failure can occur. These relations were obtained by assuming feasible failure mechanisms and applying the concept of limit state analysis. For studying the failure pattern of corner in mortar bonded masonry, the FE approach adopted for dry masonry was extended. Micro-modelling which is mostly adopted for modelling mortar bonded masonry was modified by introducing the concept of equivalent friction to simulate the behaviour of mortar in shear. Cracks were observed to pass through the bricks along with the bed joints which lead to toe crushing due to overturning of failure portion. Through this study an understanding of failure of the corner has been developed.

Download or read book Masonry Buildings: Research and Practice written by Tanja Kalman Šipoš and published by MDPI. This book was released on 2019-09-03 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Masonry is a construction material that has been used throughout the years as a structural or non-structural component in buildings. Masonry can be described as a composite material made up of different units and diverse types of arrangements, with or without mortar, that is used in many ancient public buildings, as well as with the latest technologies being applied in construction. Research in multiple relevant fields, as well as crossing structural with non-structural needs, is crucial for understanding the qualities of existent buildings and to develop new products and construction technologies. This book addresses and promotes the discussion related to the different topics addressing the use of masonry in the construction sciences and in practice, including theory and research, numerical approaches and technical applications in new works, and repair actions and interventions in the built environment, connecting theory and application across topics from academia to industry.

Download or read book Seismic Behaviour and Design of Irregular and Complex Civil Structures IV written by Rita Bento and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-01-18 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains papers of the 9th European Workshop on the Seismic Behaviour of Irregular and Complex Structures (9EWICS) held in Lisbon, Portugal, in 2020. This workshop, organized at Instituto Superior Técnico, University of Lisbon, continued the successful three-annual series of workshops started back in 1996. Its organization had the sponsorship of Working Group 8 (Seismic Behaviour of Irregular and Complex Structures) of the European Association of Earthquake Engineering.This international event provided a platform for discussion and exchange of ideas and unveiled new insights on the possibilities and challenges of irregular and complex structures under seismic actions. The topics addressed include criteria for regularity, seismic design of irregular structures, seismic assessment of irregular and complex structures, retrofit of irregular and complex structures, and soil-structure interaction for irregular and complex structures. Beyond an excellent number of interesting papers on these topics, this volume includes the papers of the two invited lectures – one devoted to irregularities in RC buildings, including perspectives in current seismic design codes, difficulties in their application and further research needs, and another one dedicated to the challenging and very up to date topic in the area of seismic response of masonry building aggregates in historical centers. This volume includes 26 contributions from authors of 11 countries, giving a complete and international view of the problem.The holds particular interest for all the community involved in the challenging task of seismic design, assessment and/or retrofit of irregular and complex structures.

Book excerpt: Raziskali smo obnašanje modela trinadstropne zidane zgradbe, v tlorisu sestavljene iz obodnih zidov in vmesnega križnega zidu. Model, ki smo ga zgradili iz materialov prototipnih lastnosti, smo preiskali s simulirano potresno obtežbo na potresni mizi. V linearnem območju obnašanja smo model vzbujali z nekaj skupinami umetnih potresov majhne intenzitete; s tem smo omogočili statistično obdelavo rezultatov in identifikacijo konstrukcije, v nelinearnem območju pa smo za študijo porušnega mehanizma modela uporabili akcelerograme, registrirane med potresom. Ugotovili smo, da lahko pričakujemo elastično obnašanje prototipnih zgradb podobne zasnove med zmernimi do močnimi potresi, medtem ko se zgradbe ne bodo porušile. Njihove poškodbe bo še vedno mogoče popraviti tudi po zelo močnih potresih.
Book Synopsis Seismic behaviour of confined masonry buildings by : Miha Tomaževič
Download or read book Seismic behaviour of confined masonry buildings written by Miha Tomaževič and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seismic behaviour of confined masonry buildings has been experimentally investigated. Two models of a typical structure, which conforms to the requirements of Eurocode 8 for simple buildings, have been tested on a shaking-table by subjected them to a series of simulated seismic ground motions. At the same time, a series of confined, as well as referential plain masonry walls have been also tested to study the vertical load-bearing capacity and seismic behaviour. The measuremed response of the walls and models to shaking table motion and observed mechanism of structural behaviour have been used to develop a rational method for seismic resistance verification of confined masonry structures. Taking into consideration the predominant first vibration mode shape and shear-beam type shape of vibration, the story resistance envelope is calculated by subdividing the structure into individual confined masonry wall panels. Good correlation between experimental and calculated envelopes has been obtained, which indicates the validity of the proposed method.
