This paper provides an overview of the unreinforced masonry in Australian Standard, especially places the focus on a seismic code. Australia, like Korea, is a country of lower seismicity, and strengthens the code of unreinforced masonry since Newcastle earthquake of magnitude 5.6 in 1989. It is useful in establishing Korean code for unreinforced masonry to compare Australian Standard to Korean.

The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of boundary RC frame(composed of one tie-beam and two tie-columns) on seismic performance of unreinforced masonry walls to suggest alternative way for seismic design of unreinforced masonry wall structures. Two test specimens are prepared, one is a typical unreinforced masonry wall and another is alternative unreinforced masonry wall with additional boundary RC frame. The structural experiments were carried out to evaluate the difference of seismic resistance performance between two test specimens with or without the boundary RC frames. From the test results, it was found that the failure mode of unreinforced masonry wall fundamentally changed from 'brittle' to 'ductile' by the installing of boundary RC frames. And, the maximum load and energy dissipation capacity of the test specimen with boundary RC frame was increased about 1.6~1.7 and 2~3 times respectively compared with a typical unreinforced masonry wall specimen.

The purpose of this study is to provide basic information for unreinforced masonry building in Korea by application of the proposed seismic evaluation method. In this study, seismic capacities of 50 existing unreinforced masonry buildings are evaluated based on the proposed method. Also, relationships of seismic capacities between Korean earthquake damage ratios of Korean unreinforced masonry buildings are estimated. Results of this study were as follows; 1)Seismic retrofit was needed $4{\sim}48%$ in Korean unreinforced masonry buildings. 2)Korean unreinforced masonry buildings were expected to have severe damage under the earthquake intensity level experienced in Japan.

This study investigated the rocking behavior of unreinforced masonry walls and wall piers under cyclic loading. Based on the benchmark tests, the characteristics of load-deformation relations in masonry walls with rocking failure were captured, focusing on observed deformation modes. The rocking strengths of masonry walls (i.e., peak and residual strengths) were evaluated, and the effects of opening configurations on the masonry wall strength were examined. The deformation capacity of the rocking behavior and the hysteresis shape of the load-deformation relations were also identified. Based on the results, modeling approaches for the rocking behavior of masonry walls were discussed.

Although performance based assessment procedures are mainly developed for reinforced concrete and steel buildings, URM (Unreinforced Masonry) buildings occupy significant portion of buildings in earthquake prone areas of the world as well as in IRAN. Variability of material properties, non-engineered nature of the construction and difficulties in structural analysis of masonry walls make analysis of URM buildings challenging. Despite sophisticated finite element models satisfy the modeling requirements, extensive experimental data for definition of material behavior and high computational resources are needed. Recently, nonlinear equivalent frame models which are developed assigning lumped plastic hinges to isotropic and homogenous equivalent frame elements are used for nonlinear modeling of URM buildings. The equivalent frame models are not novel for the analysis of masonry structures, but the actual potentialities have not yet been completely studied, particularly for non-linear applications. In the present paper an effective tool for the non-linear static analysis of 2D masonry walls is presented. The work presented in this study is about performance assessment of unreinforced brick masonry buildings through nonlinear equivalent frame modeling technique. Reliability of the proposed models is tested with a reversed cyclic experiment conducted on a full scale, two-story URM building at the University of Pavia. The pushover curves were found to provide good agreement with the experimental backbone curves. Furthermore, the results of analysis show that EFM (Equivalent Frame Model) with Dolce RO (rigid offset zone) and shell element have good agreement with finite element software and experimental results.

Unreinforced masonry is widely used as a structural material in residential constructions and known to have poor seismic performance in the out-of-plane rather than in-plane behavior. In countries of lower seismicity such as Korea, it is necessary to check the possibility of the mode of the out-of-plane failure. Though face loading is a major cause of the failure of masonary walls, Korean Seismic Code does not include provision for face-loaded unreinforced masonry walls. This paper briefly reviews the concept of analysis for unreinforced masonry walls subjected to face-load excitation proposed by Priestley, and its applicatility to Korean case.

본 연구에서는 향후 국내의 실정에 맞는 조적조 건물의 내진성능 평가방법의 개발에 기초적인 자료제공을 목적으로 지진에 무방비 상태로 노출된 조적조 건축물 특히 서울시내 50개동의 조적조 건물들을 대상으로 기존 건축물의 구조내진 성능 평가에 관한 기술지침(안)의 방법에 따라 건물의 내진성능을 평가하고 구조내진지표의 분포특성 및 지진피해율을 통계 확률론에 입각하여 검토한 결과, 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 그, 결과, 국내의 현존 조적조 건물의 경년지표(T)를 1에서 0.7사이로 가정하고, 평균전단 응력도를 0.2MPa로 가정 시 표준정규분포로 근사가 가능하다는 것을 알았으며, 조사 대상건물은 경년지표의 변화에 따라 국내 상정 입력지진가속도 레벨에서도 $8{\sim}48%$정도의 내진보강이 필요한 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 국내 상정 입력지진가속도 레벨인 0.12g에 대해서 $11.5{\sim}37.4%$정도의 지진피해율이 상정되었으며 일본의 대표적인 피해지진레벨(0.23g) 뿐만 아니라 중규모의 지진에서도 큰 피해를 받을 것으로 사료된다. 따라서 국내실정에 적합한 내진진단법, 이를 근거로 한 보강건물의 합리적인 선정방법 및 효과적인 내진보강공법이 개발이 시급하다고 판단된다.

This study focuses on the earthquake performance of two URM buildings having typical architectural configurations common for residential use constructed per pre-modern code in Albania. Both buildings are unreinforced clay brick masonry structures constructed in 1960 and 1984, respectively. The first building is a three-storey unreinforced one with masonry walls. The second one is confined masonry rising on five floors. Mechanical characteristics of masonry walls were determined based on experimental tests conducted according to ASTM C67-09 regulations. A global numerical model of the buildings was built, and masonry material was simulated as nonlinear. Pushover analyses are carried out to obtain capacity curves. Displacement demands were calculated according to Eurocode 8 and FEMA440 guidelines. Causes of building failures in recent earthquakes were examined using the results of this study. The results of the study showed that the URM building displays higher displacement and shear force demands that can be directly related to damage or collapse. On the other hand, the confined one exhibits relatively higher seismic resistance by indicating moderate damage. Moreover, effects of demand estimation approaches on performance assessment of URM buildings were compared. Deficiencies and possible solutions to improve the capacity of such buildings were discussed.

Nonlinear static analysis and preliminary evaluation were performed in this study to evaluate the seismic performance of unreinforced masonry buildings subjected to various soil conditions based on the revised Korean Building Code. Preliminary evaluation scores and nonlinear static analyses indicated that all buildings were susceptible to collapse and did not reach their target performance. Therefore, retrofit of those building models was carried out through a systematic procedure to determine areas to be strengthened. It was possible to make most building models satisfy performance objectives through the reinforcement alone of damaged external shear walls. However, the application of a preliminary evaluation procedure to retrofit design was found to be too conservative because all the retrofitted building models verified with nonlinear static analysis failed to satisfy performance objectives. Therefore, it is possible to economically retrofit unreinforced masonry buildings through the fortification of external walls if a simple evaluation procedure that can efficiently specify vulnerable parts is developed.
