Abstract:Summary
This paper experimentally investigates the hysteresis behavior of a hybrid reinforced concrete (RC) frame system with stiffened masonry wall to enhance the seismic performance of existing RC buildings subjected to cyclic loading. The influences of the depth of the columns section, the length of masonry walls, and the grouting ratio of reinforced masonry were evaluated by designing a series of orthogonal quasi‐static tests on a half‐scale specimen. Test results indicated that the grouting ratio played t… Show more
