Infill masonry walls are vulnerable to lateral loads, including seismic, wind, and concentrated push loads. Various strengthening metal fittings have been proposed to improve lateral load resistance, particularly against seismic loads. This study introduces the use of post-compressed wedges as a novel reinforcement method for infill masonry walls to enhance lateral load resistance. The resistance of the infill masonry wall against lateral-concentrated push loads was assessed using an out-of-plane push-over test on specimens sized 2,300×2,410×190 mm³. The presence or absence of wedges and wedge spacing were set as variables. The push-over test results showed that both the unreinforced specimen and the specimen reinforced with 300 mm spaced wedges toppled, while the specimen reinforced with 100 mm spaced wedges remained upright. Peak loads were measured to be 0.74, 29.77, and 5.88 kN for unreinforced specimens and specimens reinforced with 100 mm and 300 mm spaced wedges, respectively. Notably, a tighter reinforcement spacing yielded a similar strength, as expected, which was attributed to the increased friction force between the masonry wall and steel frame. The W-series specimens exhibited a trend comparable to that of the displacement ductility ratio. Overall, the findings validate that post-compressed wedges improve the out-of-plane strength of infill masonry walls.

본 논문은 국내의 비보강 조적조에 대해 내진성능을 조사하기 위하여 재료측성 평가를 위한 실험연구를 수행하였다. 실험결과를 바탕으로 조적용 모르터의 압축강도식을 제안하였다. 또한 조적용 모르터의 배합비에 따른 조적조 프리즘의 압축강도 특성을 비교하였다. 조적조 프리즘의 압축강도로써 조적조의 탄성계수를 구할 수 있는 약산식을 제시하였으며, 약산식을 사인장 조적조 실험을 통하여 구한 전단탄성계수값과 비교하여 볼 때 타당성을 가지고 있다고 판단된다. 실험결과로써 나온 재료특성 값을 바탕으로 2층 조적조 다세대 주택에 대한 유사동적해석을 수행하였다. 해석결과로 얻은 전단응력과 전단파괴가 나타난 사인장 조적조의 허용전단응력은 유사한 것으로 확인되었다.

Fiber-reinforced polymer reinforcement or polyurea reinforcement techniques are applied to strengthen unreinforced masonry walls (UMWs). The out-of-plane reinforcing effect of sprayed glass fiber-reinforced polyurea (GFRPU), which is a composite elastomer made of polyurea and milled glass fibers on UMW, is experimentally verified. The out-of-plane strengths and ductile behaviors based on various coating shapes are compared in this study. An empirical formula to describe the degree of reinforcement on the out-of-plane strength of the UMW is derived based on the experimental results. It is reported that the peak load-carrying capacity, ductility, and energy absorption capacity gradually improve with an increase in the strengthening degree or area. Compared with the existing masonry wall reinforcement method, the GFRPU technique is a construction method that can help improve the safety performance along with ease of construction and economic efficiency.

URM buildings have been damaged seriously during earthquake since they were not designed to resist lateral loads. It has led to the importance of studying the behavior and capacity for URM building. The objective of this study is to evaluate seismic performance of URM (Unreinforced Masonry) building. For this purpose, this paper discuss the response of 2 story reduced-scale building subjected to earthquake motion and compare them using existing guidelines to provide improved knowledge for URM building.

본 연구에서는 기존 건물의 내진성능평가 요령의 개선안을 바탕으로 비보강 조적조 건물의 내진성능을 평가하였다. 평가 절차는 예비평가, 1차상세평가, 2차상세평가의 3단계로 구성되어 있으며, 보수적인 평가로 시작하여 점차 상세한 평가를 실시한다. 본 연구의 목적은 이와 같은 단계적 평가의 실효성을 검증하고 평가결과와 조적조 벽량과의 상관관계를 분석하는 것이다. 연구를 위해 10개의 2층 비보강 조적조 건물을 선택한 후 3단계 절차를 이용하여 단계별로 성능평가를 수행하였다. 연구 결과, 예비평가와 1차상세평가간에 성능수준이 절차의 의도와 역행해서 나타났다. 따라서 앞으로 본 연구 결과에서 나타난 각 평가 단계별 문제점을 보완할 필요가 있다.

비보강 조적조 건축물은 전세계적으로 기존의 건물 및 역사 건축물의 많은 부분을 차지하고 있다. 특히, 최근 지진이 전세계적으로 빈번하게 나타남에 따라 비보강 조적조 구조물에 대한 내진 보강 대책이 요구되고 있다. 현재 비보강 조적조의 보강방법으로는 숏크리트, ECC jacketing, FRPs(fiber reinforced polymer sheet) 등이 개발되어 사용되고 있다. 특히 많은 엔지니어들이 FRPs를 사용한 보강방법을 채택하는 경향이 보이는데 이는 숏크리트나 ECC jacketing과는 달리 벽체의 두께 확장에 따른 구조물 자중 증가 문제없이 비보강 조적조의 전단강도를 향상시킬 수 있기 때문이다. 그러나 비보강 조적 벽체의 복잡한 역학적 거동과 FRPs를 사용한 실험 데이터의 부족은 아직까지도 적절한 보강량을 산정하는데 어려움을 주고 있다. 이 연구는 비보강 조적조의 면내 거동을 확인하고 두 가지의 다른 특징을 가진 FRPs를 사용한 보강 효과에 대한 정보를 주기 위해 수행되었다. 실험체는 1970년대 한국에서 빈번하게 지어진 저층형 연립주택의 내벽을 대상으로 하고 있으며 별도의 내진 설계는 되어있지 않은 상태이다. 실험체의 형상비는 실제 상황을 반영하기 위해 1에 가깝게 설정되어 있다. 보강 재료로는 탄소섬유보강 시트와 하이브리드 시트를 사용하였으며 이들은 각각 다른 극한 강도와 탄성계수 및 극한 변형률을 보유하고 있다. 연구 결과 비보강 조적 벽체의 면내 전단력 저항 성능을 확인하였으며 FRPs가 사용된 내진 보강 방안의 특성을 분석할 수 있었다. 또한 FRPs를 사용한 보의 전단보강 방법에 착안하여 비보강 조적조에 대한 FRPs의 보강 설계안을 도출할 수 있었다.

The study of the seismic vulnerability of masonry buildings requires structural properties of walls such as stiffness, ultimate load capacity, etc. In this article, a method is suggested for modeling the masonry walls under in-plane loading. At the outset, a set of analytical equations was established for determining the elastic properties of an equivalent homogeneous material of masonry. The results for homogenized unreinforced brick walls through detailed modeling were compared in different manners such as solid and perforated walls, in-plane and out-of-plane loading, etc, and it was found that this method provides suitable accuracy in estimation of the wall linear properties. Furthermore, comparison of the results of proposed modeling with experimental out coming indicated that this model considers the non linear properties of the wall such as failure pattern, performance curve and ultimate strength, and would be appropriate to establish a parametric study on those prone factors. The proposed model is complicated; therefore, efforts need to be made in order to overcome the convergency problems which will be included in this study. The nonlinear model is basically semi-macro but through a series of actions, it can be simplified to a macro model.

This paper presents a simple methodology that integrates an improved storey shear modelling, Incremental Dynamic Analysis and Monte Carlo Simulation in order to carryout vulnerability analysis towards development of fragility curves for Unreinforced Brick Masonry buildings. The methodology is demonstrated by developing fragility curves of a single storey Unreinforced Brick Masonry building for which results of experiment under lateral load is available in the literature. In the study presented, both uncertainties in mechanical properties of masonry and uncertainties in the characteristics of earthquake ground motion are included. The research significance of the methodology proposed is that, it accommodates a new method of damage grade classification which is based on 'structural performance characteristics' instead of 'fixed limiting values'. The usefulness of such definition is discussed as against the existing practice.

The behavior of a unreinforced cement brick building structure subjected to earthquake loading was experimentally investigated. for this four full size wall specimens were tested under quasi-static in-plane cyclic loading. Experimental observations indicate that the failure modes of unreinforced masonry walls are principally governed by sliding or/and rocking depending on the aspect ration and magnitude of axial loading. Also found was the flexure or shear mode resulting from the degraded strength of brick and/or mortar due to the cyclic loading effect.

there is no earthquake resistant design code for the unreinforced masonary(URM) buildings in Korea. But it does not mean that all URM buldings in Korea is safe under the possible extent of an earthquake. The purpose of this study is in the inelastic analysis of unreinforced masonary walls with many different types of openings and carry out their ductilities an strengths, response modification factor of each wall has been compared and the most appropriate response modification factor for URM building in Korea has been proposed.
