Experimental Study on a Self-Centering Earthquake-Resistant Masonry Pier with a Structural Concrete Column
This paper proposes a slotting construction strategy to avoid shear behavior of multistory masonry buildings. The aspect ratio of masonry piers increases via slotting between spandrels and piers, so that the limit state of piers under an earthquake may be altered from shear to rocking. Rocking piers...
