Abstract
AbstractA typical seismically designed reinforced masonry building is composed of structural walls, constructed following the same prescriptive detailing requirements corresponding to a code classified seismic force resisting system (SFRS). However, due to architectural requirements (i.e. to allow for requirements such as openings and wall intersections), some of these walls might have the same overall aspect ratio but differ in their cross-section configurations. The companion paper presented the experimental results and force-based seismic design parameters for walls that fall under the Canadian Standards Association (CSA) ductile shear walls and the Masonry Standards Joint Committee (MSJC) special-reinforced walls SFRS classifications. The current paper utilizes the experimental results to extract key displacement-based seismic design parameters, including wall yield and ultimate curvatures, wall displacements at yield and at the post-yield stages, stiffness degradation, period elongation, and equivale...
