Experimental Behavior of Clay Masonry Wall with Opening Under Effect of Lateral Forces
Journal Title: International Journal of Civil, Structural, Environmental and Infrastructure Engineering Research and Development (IJCSEIERD) - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 5
Abstract
This paper presents an experimental test program, on eight clay brick masonry walls, under the effect of lateral forces. The effect of opening, boundary condition and vertical compression forces were assumed as, variables in the tests. Three of these eight tested walls were constructed which had a mid-span opening. The tested walls were designed with different supported along two, three and four edges. The top and bottom edges were assumed as simply-supported, while the vertical edges were supported by short return walls, which are restrained from rotation, so that, the two vertical edges could reasonably to be considered as rotationally fixed. The walls were loaded using a system of airbags. The ultimate strength of each wall was determined and compared with previous theoretical methods.
