Abstract:Brick cavity wall structures are widely distributed in southeastern China; however, their integrity and seismic behavior are extremely poor. To solve this problem, a new technique is proposed to enhance the seismic behavior of brick cavity walls using steel fiber reactive powder concrete (SFRPC) overlays. Two unreinforced cavity walls and four cavity walls strengthened with SFRPC overlays (applied over the entire wall surface) were tested under cyclic loading. In this study, the damage and failure modes of the… Show more
