Title: | Simplified Density Indexes of Walls and Tie-Columns for Confined Masonry Buildings in Seismic Zones | Authors: | CAI, Gaochuang Su, Qiwang Tsavdaridis, Konstantinos Daniel DEGEE, Herve |
Issue Date: | 2020 | Publisher: | TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD | Source: | JOURNAL OF EARTHQUAKE ENGINEERING, 24 (3) , p. 447 -469 | Abstract: | This paper discusses and quantifies the minimum requirements of walls and tie-columns in confined masonry (CM) buildings located in earthquake-prone regions. A research database including 238 damaged CM buildings obtained from the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake survey is established and comprehensively examined. The requirements of masonry walls in CM buildings are discussed, and a simplified tie-column density index is proposed for evaluating the potential damage of the structures. Besides, the minimum requirements of reinforced concrete tie-columns and their maximum allowable spacing in CM buildings at different seismic intensity zones are discussed. | Notes: | Su, QW (reprint author), Southwest Jiaotong Univ, Sch Civil Engn, 111,1st North Sect,2nd Ring Rd, Chengdu 610031, Sichuan, Peoples R China. sucai_2016@126.com |
