Abstract
Recently, research focused on preventing the aging of masonry structures, and minimization of damage caused by earthquakes to these structures has gained significant attention. To improve the performance of these structures, an appropriate method is required for their performance evaluation. Generally, the equivalent strut model is employed for the performance evaluation of a masonry wall. However, this method is known to have limitations in implementing reinforced masonry and in reflecting the actual reinforcement effect. Appropriate evaluation techniques should be developed to implement the performance improvement methods developed in the future. Therefore, in this study, analysis methods were developed considering the nonlinear static analysis method for masonry elements. In addition, using these methods, the analysis considering the various reinforced thicknesses and shapes was performed, and the appropriate reinforcement methods were presented for these structures.
