Mechanical Analysis On One Strengthened Historical Masonry Wall

Shanghai is famous for its cultural diversity. The city has many historicalbuildings which are expected to be reliably saved. In order to study the performanceof the strengthened historical brick walls and the safety assessment, combined with ahistorical building reinforcement project, this paper establishes a theoretical model toanalyze the historical brick wall reinforced with steel frames and concrete lining stresswall. The combination model of brick wall, concrete lining wall and steel frames isestablished based on the mechanics of elasticity. Considering the materialperformance of historical brick wall, the mechanical performance of the reinforcedcomposite wall under the concentrated load, triangular load, uniform load and wallincline is calculated.At the same time, a numerical simulation model is established by using the finiteelement software ANSYS, the mechanical performance of the historical brick wallreinforced with steel frames and concrete lining wall is simulated and calculated.The calculation results of the theoretical model and numerical simulation methodare close to the results. The calculation results show that, the model is accurateenough and is also very effective. It can provide theoretical basis for the relevantreinforcement design.
