Experimental Investigation on the Seismic Behavior of Newly-Developed Precast Reinforced Concrete Block Masonry Shear Walls

Experimental Investigation on the Seismic Behavior of Newly-Developed Precast Reinforced Concrete Block Masonry Shear Walls

Typically, a special type of concrete block with cleaning holes is used in the bottom layer of traditional reinforced masonry shear walls (RMSWs) for mortar cleaning and vertical rebar connection, which results in reduced integrity and weakened structural behavior. In this paper, a precast construct...
