Abstract
AbstractThis paper focuses on analyzing the performance of structural walls comprising the seismic force resisting system (SFRS) in a scaled asymmetrical fully grouted reinforced masonry (RM) building tested under quasi-static loading. The in-plane tensile and compressive strains calculated at the wall toes and the curvature profile along the wall height as well as the contributions of the flexural and the shear deformations to the overall wall displacements were quantified. The component-level (when the walls were tested individually) responses were compared with those at the system level (in a building). In addition, key input parameters for displacement-based seismic design approaches, including stiffness degradation and the trend of the building’s effective period increase as well as the variation of hysteretic damping, were quantified. Moreover, the building energy dissipation levels were compared with those generated during the individual wall tests to quantify the contribution of each component to ...
