Experimental Study on the Seismic Performance of Recycled Concrete Brick Walls Embedded with Vertical Reinforcement

Abstract: Recycled concrete brick (RCB) is manufactured by recycled aggregate processed from discarded concrete blocks arising from the demolishing of existing buildings. This paper presents research on the seismic performance of RCB masonry walls to assess the applicability of RCB for use in rural low-rise constructions. The seismic performance of a masonry wall is closely related to the vertical load applied to the wall. Thus, the compressive performance of RCB masonry was investigated firstly by constructing and test… Show more

“…The loading devices at the experimental site are shown in Figure 9 and consisted of a horizontal loading device and a vertical loading device [ 15 , 16 , 17 ]. The horizontal cyclic load was imposed by a 1000 kN hydraulic jack whose back was secured to the reaction wall on the right side.…”

“…∆ y in Equation (23) is obtained by the equivalent yield point determined on the skeleton curve. The “equivalent energy method” [ 41 ] is used to define an equivalent yielding point. The ultimate displacement ∆ u in Equation (23) is obtained from the descending section of the skeleton curve where the bearing capacity is reduced to 85% of the maximum value.…”
