Based on the previous information, it is known that diagonal cracking and slip of the mortar-brick joints are the dominant failure mechanisms of confined masonry walls. \u0000In order to determine the mechanical behavior in the mortar-brick joint, an experimental program was carried out, by using industrial and handmade bricks. The test specimens were specifically designed to transmit pure shear along the bed joints under certain constant levels of compressive stress normal to the bed joint. The results of experimental shear tests are presented and discussed. It is then found a consistency between the behavior of masonry joints under shear with the Mohr Coulomb criterion. The shear failure capacity was influenced by the brick type, pre-compression load level and mortar type.

In order to study these characteristics, a series of full-scale slab tests have been carried out, such as bending tests to identify the slipping load, which is directly related to the shear bond strength of the slab. The study of the shear bond strength is very important because in most cases the geometric conditions of the section and the slenderness of the slab will lead to this type of failure. For this reason, this research will be in charge of studying this failure condition, based on previously full-scale slab tests and newly constructed specimens, in order to cover as many situations as possible. The experimental results of these tests, such as the slipping load and the corresponding deflection, will allow establishing a new relationship between the slipping load, the geometric and mechanical parameters.

Rubber tire sheets were joined to each other by a vulcanization process, including rubber layers with 3mm of thickness made of recycled rubber tire powder in between rubber tire sheets; and in between the rubber tire sheet and the steel plate at both ends of the bearing. \u0000Two specimens were tested in a shaking table under a free vibration impulse or displacement in order to get their natural vibration frequency, natural period, and inherent damping. Then, to obtain the hysteretical behavior, a cyclic lateral reversal-loading test was conducted on three different specimens applying a constant axial load of 330MPa, 270MPa, and 220MPa respectively and a lateral displacement pattern with different levels of shear deformations up to the failure, which occurs at a shear strain of around 100%. \u0000From the experimental results, a nonlinear hysteretic behavior and energy dissipation were observed, decoupling the lateral movement.

They have massively been used as foundation of dwellings by vulnerable population located in the steeped hills surrounding some Latin-American cities. These walls are built following ancient techniques that are neither well studied nor formally established. Millions of people live in these conditions in seismic zones generating a high-risk situation. Experimental and numerical studies are needed in order to evaluate the reliability of low-cost DSRW and to validate or improve traditional techniques. The objective of this ongoing research is to design and construct a full-scale testing equipment to assess DSRW performance against lateral out-of-plane seismic forces. The methodology consists in the following steps: (1) Review of state-of-art of experimental testing of DSRW, (2) Analysis of failure modes of similar constructions (3) Conceptual and structural design of optimum full-scale testing equipment, (4) Construction planning (blueprints and budget) and (5) Construction and operation. Testing equipment found in technical literature can be classified into two groups according to the applied force: dynamic and static. Forces in dynamic tests are the result of acceleration imposed to the specimen, e.g. shaking tables and centrifuge machines. Forces in static testing are applied by hydrostatic pressure, lateral earth pressure, and specimen´s weight. Applied forces in dynamic tests simulate seismic forces well. On the other hand, it is a high cost solution and requires very specialized staff for operation and maintenance. Static alternatives are more affordable but seismic forces are roughly simulated by static forces. In this work a tilt table is proposed to test full-scale specimens. In this test, the specimen is built in a horizontal table that is slowly rotated. In this way, a static out-of-plane force acts in each particle of the specimen. The magnitude of the total force is the specimen´s weight multiplied by the sin of the rotating angle. Static test results could be conservative but they could give a good approach to understand DSRW damage accumulation process and failure. Two equipments were proposed: (1) tilting table for monotonic static test and (2) tilting table for cylic test. We compare costs, required area, construction feasibility, and operation manageability. We conclude that both of them are straightforward solutions to assess DSRW performance against out-of-plane lateral forces.","PeriodicalId":31729,"journal":{"name":"Tecnia","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42884963","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The proposed methodology considers a non-linear static analysis (pushover) for the case of the earthquake and a non-linear static load for the case of the tsunami, taking as starting point the final state of the structure after the occurrence of an earthquake. However, since the impulse force is the critical component of the tsunami load, a simplified approximation in terms of the flood depth is used to estimate the total of the tsunami load. By combining the effect of earthquake and tsunami hazard, a function is obtained relating the spectral acceleration of the earthquake, the flood depth of the tsunami and the drift. Finally, a case study of timber houses located in the municipality of San Andrés de Tumaco at the Colombian Pacific coast is analyzed to assess de proposed methodology.
