Description

This paper presents the results of in-plane shaking table tests carried out on small-scale conventional unreinforced brick masonry wall and SRB-DUP system masonry wall specimens to study fundamental response properties of the masonry specimens. The tests were conducted as a part of the study on nonlinear behavior of masonry structures. A total of 2 conventional and 7 SRB-DUP wall specimens were tested. The test program included free-vibration and harmonic shaking. The test results revealed significant degradations in fundamental dynamic properties, initiation and development of cracks by repeated shaking with stepwise increasing input acceleration level from 25 to 500 Gal. We found that SRB-DUP system masonry walls show very stable behavior even to large acceleration input.
