Testing Study On Anti-Seismic Behavior Of The Masonry Walls Of Nonbearing Anti-Seismic Energy-Saving Bliocks

The seismic security of the nonstructural component is closely linked with the safety of the people's lives and properties. A lot of earthquake damage indicates that the economic loss caused by the nonstructural component damage is far more than the one caused by the structural component damage in the middling earthquake. Moreover, the nonstructural component damage probably arouses the people's casualty. So the people more and more regard the seismic security of the nonstructural component. The East Asia Research Institute of Engineering Technology in Benxi of China invents the nonbearing anti-seismic energy-saving blocks. Through the out-of-plane low cyclic reverse load test on the masonry walls and analysis, this paper mainly studies the anti-seismic behavior of the masonry walls. The main aspects of the research work are as follows:(1) Studies the walls' behavior, anti-seismic carrying capacity, dissipation energy capacity and lateral displacement capacity through the out-of-plane low cyclic reverse load test on the three kinds of masonry walls;(2) Compare with the standard value of the carrying capacity of U.S. Code and the lateral displacement required by the Code for seismic design of buildings of China, acquire that the anti-seismic capacity of the walls contents the Code, based on the test result's analysis to the masonry walls made up of the nonbearing anti-seismic energy-saving blocks;(3) Compare the rigid and flexible methods that the walls are connected with girder and column, and acquire that the flexible connecting method is better;(4) Compare the carrying capacity of the walls of the different space of anti-seismic columns, and give some advice for the anti-seismic columns space on the different conditions of seismic design.
