| Description | Reinforced masonry shear walls (RMSWs) consisting of hollow concrete-block units reinforced with vertical and horizontal steel bars have demonstrated good seismic performance in recent experimental studies in terms of ductility potential and energy dissipation capability. This paper presents key results of an experimental study on eight full-scale RMSW specimens with flexure-dominant response under reversed cyclic loading. The test specimens had varying slenderness and height-to-length ratios, vertical and horizontal reinforcement layouts, applied axial stress, and presence of boundary elements. The test specimens were designed per the Canadian masonry design code requirements and performed in a ductile manner, but experienced several failure mechanisms during the tests, including i) ductile-flexure, ii) shear-flexure, iii) toe-crushing, iv) sliding shear, and v) out-of-plane instability. The paper discusses the observed behaviour and damage patterns associated with various failure mechanisms. The test results are compared with the capacity predictions from selected international masonry design codes. Book Name: Brick and Block Masonry - From Historical to Sustainable Masonry |
