Abstract: Strength and deformation of clay‐unit masonry under uniaxial concentric compressive force were investigated. Biaxial tension‐compression tests of bricks and triaxial compression tests of mortar were done to establish ...

Abstract: The influence of floor flexibility on the seismic response of building structures is discussed through comparison of the computed seismic response for structures with flexible diaphragms and counterpart structures with ...

Abstract: This paper describes an experimental program to investigate the in-plane seismic behavior of steel frames with unreinforced masonry infills having large window openings. Test parameters included the masonry pier width and ...

Abstract: Hybrid masonry is a new structural concept for buildings that incorporates the in-plane strength and stiffness of reinforced concrete masonry with the ease of erecting conventional steel framing. Because the masonry ...
