EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON SEISMIC BEHAVIOR OF CONCRETE PERFORATED BRICK WALLS
Based on six cyclic-load tests of concrete perforated brick masonry wall, its deformation behaviors, failure types, loading capacity and seismic performance were investigated. Many factors related to the cracking load, ultimate load and deformation behaviors are studied, including high-width ratio, existing of structural concrete column and openings on the wall. The formula for shear capacity was proposed, and some valuable conclusions were drawn.
